Baguio - Government

Government

Like most Philippine cities, Baguio is governed by a mayor, vice mayor, and twelve (12) councilors. However, being a highly-urbanized city with its own charter, it is not subject to the jurisdiction of Benguet province, of which it was formerly a part.

The current mayor of Baguio is Mauricio Domogan, and the lone congressional district is currently represented by Congressman Bernardo Vergara, who has already served before as the Baguio's representative to congress. They were re-elected on May 2010.

Baguio City is politically subdivided into 129 barangays.

Famous quotes containing the word government:

    The government of the world I live in was not framed, like that of Britain, in after-dinner conversations over the wine.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Give me a country where it is the most natural thing in the world for a government that does not understand you to let you alone.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
