THE towns of Pateros in Metro Manila and Cainta and Taytay in Rizal are hoping that the result of the ongoing census would qualify them for cityhood.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) earlier announced that it is conducting census, which started in September. Census in the Philippines is usually conducted every five years.
Pateros Mayor Miguel F. Ponce III said he hopes that the result of the census would yield 150,000 residents for the town to be qualified as a city as required by law.
"We hope and pray that it could be realized," he said.
In 2015 census, Pateros only yield some 63,840 residents.
Earlier, Cainta Mayor Johnielle Keith Nieto said he had formed a technical team to study how prepared Cainta is for its cityhood bid.
