Manila City: Political Subdivision
The government of the City of
Manila, along seven (7) other cities and nine (9) towns, are
units of an umbrella government, the Metropolitan Manila Authority.
The city government which is under the stewardship of a Mayor
with the assistance of a Vice Mayor, along with its 36 councilors
are directly elected by the people, bringing back direct representation
in the lawmaking body of the city government. The elected officials
are now partners in governance.
The new city government, conceived
by the 1986 People Power Revolution, is tasked to undertake the
programs that will bring back Manila to its rightful place as
the premiere city of the Philippines.
The present Administration is
committed to a program of government which places emphasis on
the reassertion of Manila's primacy as the nation's center of
trade and commerce through an improved business and investment
climate; the efficient delivery and expansion of basic and social
services; improvement of peace and order; expansion of the city's
free educational system and health care delivery; and the maintenance
of the city government's strong financial position through intensified
revenue generation and judicious fiscal management. So inspite
of its myriad problems, city executives, councilors and the civil
sevants and peace officers unite to achieve the vision of peace
and a good quality of life for its people.
