Here’s a bit of trivia that some 2 million Manileños may not know. After the Spanish incorporated Manila as a city in 1571, membership to the council was originally restricted to Spaniards. On June 24, 1571 , the municipal government, or the Cabildo, was established, consisting of two mayors, 12 councilors and a secretary. The mayor was chosen by lottery, with councilors nominating four candidates, with two candidates being drawn to serve as mayors.
In 1916, the advisory board was abolished, and the municipal board was increased to 10 members, all of them elected by Filipinos, although the mayor was still appointed. The 12th Manila City Council plans to commemorate its 122nd Founding Anniversary with prudence and simplicity from July 31 to August 4 this year.the event will be a nostalgic celebration of the council’s past, even as it will also highlight the 12th Council’s milestones and accomplishments as the City of Manila’s law making body.
Awards, rewards and plaques of recognition will be given to past and present council officials and employees for their service, loyalty, and contributions that made a positive impact on the council.
