All municipalities in the Philippines, with the exception of Pateros in Metro Manila, have eight regular members or councilors elected at-large. In the case of Pateros, its Sangguniang Bayan is composed of twelve elected councilors, wherein six are elected from each of the two districts Pateros is divided into.
There are also two ex-officio councilors — the municipal chapter presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay and Pederasyon ng Sangguniang Kabataan.
