Localities Philippines Asia


The Philippines defines three distinct types of local government units: Cities, Municipalities, and Barangays. In ODP, both Cities and Municipalities are treated as "Localities." Note: The Barangay is the basic unit of the Philippine political system and is the smallest political unit into which cities and municipalities are divided. A barangay consists of fewer than 1,000 inhabitants. It is administered by a set of elective officials, headed by a barangay chairman (punong barangay). As a general rule, ODP does not maintain categories for individual barangays.
