Cities of the Philippines

A city (lungsod, sometimes syudad, in Filipino) is a local government unit in the Philippines. Cities are equivalent to municipalities but are given special treatment and an increased budget. Cities, like municipalities, are composed of barangays and is governed by a Mayor, Vice-Mayor, and councilors.

A number of cities in the country act independently of their provinces and are largely self-governing and have their own representatives in the Congress. Other cities depend on their provincial government for support and representation. The independent cities are classified as highly-urbanized cities and the dependent cities are component cities. Although some component cities are somewhat independent, like Ormoc City in Leyte.

Quezon City, in Metro Manila is the most populous city with over 2,000,000 residents. Davao City, is one of the largest cities in the world in terms of land area, occupying more than 2,500 square kilometers.
