1,489 Municipalities in the Philippines
The philippines is divided into Regions, Provinces, Cities, Municipalities, and Barangays.

Below is a list of municipalities listed in Alphabetical Order.

To get the list of municipalities within each province, go to the Province page.

The Philippine Government defines a municipality as "a political corporate body which is endowed with the facilities of a municipal corporation, exercised by and through the municipal government in conformity with law. It is a subsidiary of the province which consists of a number of barangays within its territorial boundaries, one of which is the seat of government found at the town proper (poblacion)".

One very important factor to remember is that MUNICIPALITIES are not classified as CITIES. The list of cities in the Philippines will continue to increase as municipalities later become cities.

As municipalities become cities the number of municipalities will diminish. However, as municipalities can reduce in number they may also increase in number. The number of municipalities may increase as Municipalities or Provinces get subdivided.

A municipality must qualify to be classified as a city.

Tacloban, Borongan trike drivers seek fare hike
ACLOBAN CITY - Motorcycle drivers in the cities of Tacloban and Borongan are seeking fare adjustments due to the continuous fuel price hike. Aside from rise in fuel prices, adding up to the burden is the lack of commuters due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, according to tricycle drivers. In this city, motorized tricycle drivers are proposing an additional PHP6 from the present fare of PHP9. “Our petition is based on the fact that gasoline prices have been increasing week-on-week following the Ukraine invasion by Russian military forces. Gasoline prices have increased from PHP46 to PHP71 per liter, or an increase of almost 55 percent,” the Tacloban Unified Motorcab for Hire Drivers and Operators Association (TUMDOA) said in its petition sent to the city council on Friday.
