This is a complete list of cities and municipalities in the Philippines. The Philippines is administratively divided into 82 provinces ( Filipino : lalawigan ). These, together with the National Capital Region , are further subdivided into cities (Filipino: lungsod ) and municipalities (Filipino: bayan ).
Each province is guaranteed at least one seat, and more populous provinces are also provided more. Many cities that have a population of at least 250,000 inhabitants are also granted one or more seats. If a province or a city is composed of only one legislative district, it is said to be the lone district (e.g., the "Lone District of Guimaras").
