Population figure is the 2024 census. Badges mean what they say: Confirmed is two independent sources agreeing, Single source is one source not yet checked against a second, Not sourced is a field we will leave empty rather than fill. Our sources.
The official website
Checked 17 August 2026 as part of our regional transparency audit.
Could not audit
Returns HTTP 403 to automated requests, so we could not audit its disclosures. On 17 August 2026 we first recorded this city as having no website at all, because searching for one returned nothing official. The site exists; our method was the problem, and the correction is logged on our audit page rather than quietly applied.
Elected officials
Names carry the same badges as the figures above. We publish an unchecked name as unchecked, or not at all. A wrong name against a real office is the fastest way for a site like this to lose its standing.
Services
Twelve of these are handled by the city hall and four are national services with offices in Bicol. Requirements vary by LGU, which is what the Citizens Charter is for.
