2. Local Government Units (LGUs)

The Philippines is also divided into Local Government Units (LGUs), which have their own local governments. Each LGU, including provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays (villages), has a degree of autonomy to promote development and local governance.

Example: Cities, like Cebu and Davao, have their own mayors and councils, overseeing local policies and community services tailored to their residents’ needs.
