Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); the Philippines is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. ₱ billion, 2018 prices · Philippine Statistics Authority (OpenSTAT), Provincial Product Accounts, GDP of the highly urbanized city at constant 2018 prices, yearly from 2018 · city data · as of Oct 2026.
