What is the primary function of a created metropolitan authority? The jurisdiction of a newly created metropolitan authority is highly specialized and explicitly restricted in scope. Its primary function is limited strictly to administering and delivering basic public services that require metro-wide coordination. It is fundamentally not meant to replace, overshadow, or overpower the existing local governments within its defined boundaries. The uniquely limited jurisdictional scope of these metropolitan bodies is defined in Article X, Section 11, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “The jurisdiction of the metropolitan authority that will hereby be created shall be limited to basic services requiring coordination.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
