Notes

  1. While Manila proper is designated as the nation's capital, the whole of Metro Manila is designated as the National Capital Region (NCR), and the seat of government, hence the name of a region.[1] Many national government institutions aside from Malacañang Palace and some agencies/institutions are located within the NCR.
