What are the primary territorial and political subdivisions of the Republic of the Philippines? The recognized territorial and political subdivisions of the Republic of the Philippines consist of the provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays. These local government units serve as the primary vehicles for delivering public services and managing local affairs. In addition to these standard units, the framework also mandates the creation of specific autonomous regions. This fundamental structure of local governance is formally established in Article X, Section 1, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 1. The territorial and political subdivisions of the Republic of the Philippines are the provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays. There shall be autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and the Cordilleras as hereinafter provided.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
