The awards, which began in 2017 as The Manila Times Top Model City, expanded to include municipalities in 2018. This year’s edition will culminate in the annual forum of The Manila Times Philippine Model Cities and Municipalities at The Manila Hotel on Nov. 14.
Luminaries in the fields of governance and finance will share their areas of expertise as well as touch points that affect the quality of urban living such as social responsibility, financial development and sustainable growth under the theme “Environmental communities cultivating first-world economies.”
Deliberations on the entries and choosing the winners were done at The Manila Hotel Apitong Function Room on Oct. 21.
The Manila Times CEO Anna Marie Ang-Thompson expressed gratitude for everyone involved in this noble cause.
