President Rodrigo Duterte has declared San Jose del Monte in Bulacan as a highly urbanized city, subject to ratification in a plebiscite.
San Jose del Monte City Rep. Florida Robes announced the presidential declaration during the inauguration of the City of San Jose Del Monte Convention Center on Saturday.
“We have long waited for this and we will work more to make us truly deserving of this proclamation for the people of San Jose del Monte,” Robes said.
The President’s Proclamation 1057 provides that cities with a minimum population of 200,000 inhabitants as certified by the Philippine Statistics Authority, and with the latest annual income of at least P50 million shall be classified as highly urbanized cities.
