On March 29, 1900, Pateros became one of the towns in the newly created province of Rizal, by virtue of General Order No. 40, Act No. 137 of the Philippine Commission, which was promulgated on June 11, 1901. Then on October 12, 1903, Act No. 942 united Pateros with Taguig and Muntinlupa into one municipality under Pateros. The municipality was renamed Taguig on March 22, 1905, through Act No. 1308.
Executive Order No. 20 dated February 29, 1908 partitioned Pateros from Taguig, and the town regained independent status as a municipality on January 1, 1909, by Executive Order No. 36. On November 7, 1975, Pateros became a part of the new Metropolitan Manila Area through Presidential Decree No. 824.
It was reclassified to a first class municipality effective on November 20, 2001 pursuant to Section 2 (c) of Department Order No. 32-2001 of the Department of Finance, as implemented by Memorandum Circular No. 01-M (NCR) dated January 28, 2002.
Lawmakers in the plenary expressed their support and agreement to convert Pateros into a city, making it the 18th city in Metro Manila.
Local government officials headed by Pateros Miguel "Ike" Ponce III, together with Vice Mayor Gerald German and members of the local council, came in full force to thank Senator Juan Edgardo Angara, Committee Chairman of the Committee on Local Government, for sponsoring the bill and ensuring its passage during the third and final reading.
The move for the conversion of Pateros into a city started in 2011 when it was proposed by Taguig City-Pateros Rep. Arnel Cerafrica.
Pateros has an average annual income of P201,361,140 as certified by the Department of Finance and a population of 63,840 as certified by the Philippine Statistics Authority.
It occupies a total of 176 hectares, as certified by the Land Management Bureau.
Once signed by President Rodrigo Duterte, the law will be published and will be subject to a plebiscite to allow all the members of the electorate to participate in the democratic process.
Local officials are confident that residents of the town will embrace the development as it promises to bring more opportunities, more jobs and greater progress to Pateros.

Pateros is qualified to be a city as the first and only Component City in Metro Manila if the municipality will never reached the minimum requirement for conversion into a Highly Urbanized City.
