Table notes[edit] Land area figures are taken from the National Statistical Coordination Board ^ Highly urbanized cities (HUC) and independent component cities (ICC) are legally independent from any province, although they are often grouped with the province they belonged to prior to becoming cities.

Dates of inauguration/organization Many pre-1987 cities had set dates of inauguration (where the president or a high-ranking government official participates in ceremonies marking the attainment of cityhood) or had set dates of organization (where the newly converted city officially starts to fully function as expected).
