City Government of Marikina

What City Government of Marikina does

The City Government of Marikina is a Highly Urbanized City (HUC) and chartered Local Government Unit (LGU) operating under Republic Act 8223 (1996) within Metro Manila, Philippines. It administers public services — including business permitting and licensing, real property taxation, civil registry, public safety, health, social welfare, education coordination, environmental management, and disaster response — for a population of approximately 488,637 residents across 16 barangays organized into two congressional districts. The entity is led by Mayor Marjorie Ann A. Teodoro and Vice Mayor Del R. De Guzman, supported by a City Council with district-level representation, and is governed under the Local Government Code framework with fiscal inflows from the national Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), locally-sourced taxes (business tax, real property tax), and service fees.

The city's technology stack centers on a portfolio of integrated e-government portals: the BPLO Online Portal for business permits, renewals, and occupational licensing; the E-BOSS Marikina Business Portal for consolidated compliance status across regulatory offices; an EGAPS-powered Online Payment System accepting credit/debit cards, Gcash, Paymaya, and Bayad App; the HRMO Recruitment Management System; the Full Disclosure Policy Portal for budget, procurement, and ordinance transparency; and a Citizen's Charter. Distribution combines the City Hall complex on Shoe Avenue with barangay-level offices, an emergency hotline (Marikina City Rescue 161), and social-media-led citizen engagement channels.

Revenue mechanics are those of a Philippine HUC: tax collection on business establishments and real property, market stall rentals, regulatory and permit fees, and the IRA share from the national government. Pricing is ordinance-driven and varies by service type, with explicit exemption programs (e.g., sari-sari stores and carinderia for 2024–2026). The customer base spans individual residents (segmented by need: senior citizens, solo parents, persons with disabilities), MSMEs and contractors operating within the city, public schools under DepEd coordination, and national agency partners (DSWD, PNP, BJMP, BFP, COA, COMELEC).
