{{Philippine city population tables}}

This is a list of chartered cities in the Philippines. Philippine cities are classified into three groups: highly urbanized cities ({{font|text=HUC|font=Courier New|size=1.00em}}), independent component cities ({{font|text=ICC|font=Courier New|size=1.00em}}), and component cities ({{font|text=CC|font=Courier New|size=1.00em}}).

Classes

Highly urbanized cities are local government units autonomous from provinces that have a minimum population of 200,000 and an annual income of at least {{₱|link=yes}} 50 million (in 1991 constant prices). Independent component cities are cities outside of provincial jurisdiction (although some are allowed to participate in the election of provincial officials) that have not yet attained the 'highly urbanized' status, while component cities are those under a province's jurisdiction. In addition, each city is classified into six income brackets according to income in a four-year period. For instance, 1st class cities have an income of {{₱}} 400 million or more, while 6th class cities earn less than {{₱}} 80 million in a four-year period.

Each city is governed by both the Local Government Code of 1991 and the city's own municipal charter, under the laws of the Philippines.

{{efn|name=eff|Before 1987, most municipalities gained cityhood immediately after the enactment or approval of their city charters. Only few pre-1987 city charters had a set date of effectivity (such as Tagbilaran's and Dipolog's) or required a plebiscite for the city to acquire corporate existence (such as Caloocan's or Laoag's). However, since 1987 city charters require ratification through a plebiscite, with a majority of votes cast by city residents affirming the charter. If not enough information is available, a charter's date of approval is assumed to be its date of effectivity, and the date is in italics.}}

;Dates of inauguration/organization:

Many pre-1987 cities had set dates of inauguration (where the president or a high-ranking government official participates in ceremonies marking the attainment of cityhood) or had set dates of organization (where the newly converted city officially starts to fully function as expected). These dates may be set by the president, city officials or Congress.
