The Makati City local government proudly announced its win at the 1st Philippine Tourism Excellence Awards as one of the best cities in the Philippines that are pursuing sustainable tourism.
The awarding ceremony was held at the Sheraton Hotel on Nov. 18 and was attended by Makati City Vice Mayor Monique Lagdameo and Makati City International Relations Head Ichi Yabut on behalf of Mayor Abby Binay who was in Barcelona, Spain for the 2022 Smart City Expo World Congress.
Binay underscored the importance of having a strong and meaningful relationship among the local government, business owners, residents, and other stakeholders as they must also develop and enforce strong regulations that promote responsible behavior among tourists, and invest in infrastructure projects to improve the quality of life for residents, workers, and tourists.
Apart from being tagged as the country’s business hub, Makati City is also being recognized as a tourism-centered city due to the local government’s steadfast efforts in promoting tourism and sustainability to the public. The website said the city has a crime index of 39.55, similar to the cities of Dumaguete and Iloilo, from a range of zero to 100, with 100 being the worst.

In 2019, the NMP declared the Old Presidencia as an “Important Cultural Property” for its cultural, artistic, and historical significance to the country.
