Marcos declares Naga as highly urbanized city

LEGAZPI CITY, Albay — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has declared Naga City as the country’s 34th highly urbanized city (HUC), marking a major milestone for the Bicol city known for its model of participatory governance. The declaration was made through a presidential proclamation signed on Wednesday after Naga City met the income and population requirements under the Local Government Code of 1991. The move came months after the 15th Sangguniang Panlungsod passed Resolution No. 2026-078 on Jan. 27, formally seeking HUC status.
