  • A city (lungsod, or sometimes siyudad, in Filipino and Tagalog) is a tier of local government in the Philippines. All Philippine cities are chartered cities, whose existence as corporate and administrative entities is governed by their own specific charters in addition to the Local Government Code of 1991, which specifies the administrative structure and political powers of subnational government entities. Cities are given the power to have one congressional district and representative per every 250,000 population count, a police force, a common seal, and the power to take, purchase, receive, hold, lease, convey, and disposes of real and personal property for the general interests of the City, condemn private property for public use (eminent domain), contract and be contracted with, sue and exercise all the powers conferred to it by Congress. Only an Act of Congress can create or amend a city charter, and with this city charter Congress confers to a city certain powers that regular municipalities or even other cities may not have. Despite the differences in the powers accorded to each city, all cities regardless of status are given special treatment in terms of being given a bigger share of the internal revenue allotment (IRA) compared to regular municipalities. A city's local government is composed of a Mayor as its Chief Executive, a Vice-Mayor which heads the city council, and a city council that serves as the city's legislative body. Cities, like municipalities, are composed of barangays which may be grouped into officially-defined administrative districts. Examples of such are the cities of Davao, Iloilo, and Samal . Some cities such as Caloocan and Manila even have an intermediate level between the district and barangay levels, called a zone. However, city districts and zones mostly serve to make city planning and other administrative tasks easier and more convenient; there are no elected city government officials in these city-specific administrative levels. There are twelve metropolitan areas in the Philippines as defined by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). Metro Manila is the largest conurbation or urban agglomeration in the country, and its official metropolitan area is composed of the city of Manila plus 15 neighboring cities and a municipality. Other metropolitan areas are centered around the cities of Baguio, Dagupan, Angeles, Olongapo, Batangas, Naga, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro and Davao.

  • Una città (lunsod, o syudad, in Filippino) è un livello governativo delle Filippine. Le città sono allo stesso livello gerarchico dei comuni (municipalità), ma il Codice di governo locale varato nel 1991, assegna alle città un trattamento speciale che si traduce in una fetta più grande sul totale degli stanziamenti interni previsti (IRA) che sono parte del budget delle amministrazioni locali. Le città, come i comuni, sono composti da baranggay e sono governati da membri eletti quali il Sindaco, a capo dell'esecutivo locale, e il Vice-Sindaco, così come i consiglieri e tutti i funzionari specifici che fanno capo ai differenti uffici sottoposti. Sono diverse le città il cui governo non dipende dalla provincia nella quale sono inserite e questo grazie ad uno specifico decreto del Parlamento filippino che con questo proposito ha istituito lo status di "città privilegiate" (chartered cities). Queste, tra le quali vi sono Dabaw, Valenzuela, San Jose del Monte e Zamboanga, hanno i loro rappresentanti in Parlamento. Una parte di queste città privilegiate sono classificate come "Città altamente urbanizzate" (Highly Urbanized Cities o HUC). Tra queste Manila, Quezon e Davao. Ci sono poi città che sono parte della provincia in cui insistono e dipendono dal governo di questa. Non hanno rappresentanti autonomi in Parlamento ma in un caso, Ormoc nella Provincia di Leyte, hanno comunque una forma di autonomia. Tra queste ci sono le città di Tarlac nella provincia omonima, Palayan, nella Provincia di Nueva Ecija e Pagadian nello Zamboanga del Sur. Nelle Filippine ci sono due aree metropolitane: Metro Manila e Metro Cebu. L'agglomerato urbano di Manila si compone della città di Manila più 16 vicine città e comuni. L'area metropolitana di Cebu nella provincia di Cebu è composta dalla capitale più 12 città e comuni collegati.
  • Een stad (city) is een lokale overheid in de Filipijnen. De 17 regio's van het land zijn onderverdeeld in 120 steden en 1511 gemeenten. Deze zijn weer onderverdeeld in 42.008 zogenaamde barangays. Het Filipijnse woord voor stad is lungsod of ook wel siyudad. Een stad in de Filipijnen wordt bestuurd door een burgemeester, samen met een locoburgemeester, raadsleden, de zogenaamde Local Chief Executive en optioneel nog enkele andere bestuurders. Een gemeente die een bepaalde grootte bereikt kan een stad worden. Dit kan gerealiseerd worden door een wet door het Filipijns Congres te laten aannemen die dan nog ondertekend moet worden door de president. Een stad krijgt een groter budget van de Filipijnse overheid, maar moet ook weer meer belasting betalen. De meeste steden in de Filipijnen zijn zogenaamde component cities. Deze steden zijn onderdeel van een provincie en worden ook bestuurd als onderdeel daarvan. Een enkele component city heeft weer een iets grotere mate van autonomie gekregen dan normaal. Een voorbeeld hiervan is Ormoc City. Enkele steden in de Filipijnen zijn grotendeels onafhankelijk en worden chartered cities genoemd. Deze steden hebben hun eigen afgevaardigden in het Filipijns Huis van Afgevaardigden. Een groot deel van deze chartered cities zijn bovendien zogenaamde HUC-steden (Highly Urbanized Cities). Manilla en Quezon City zijn hier voorbeelden van. De grootste stad van de Filipijnen qua inwoners is Quezon City, dat tijdens de officiële telling in 2007 2.679.450 inwoners had. De stad met de grootste oppervlakte van de Filipijnen is Davao City met een oppervlakte van meer dan 2500 km².
