MANILA — Makati is the only finalist from the Philippines and the Asia Pacific for the World Smart Cities Awards this year, the city government said on Saturday.
Based on the Smart City Expo World Congress website, this award is given to cities that were able to craft global strategies that could be implemented to their residents. Binay said it was challenging to qualify for the category, which was why she was happy Makati became a finalist. According to the Smart City Expo World Congress, this "empowers them to be responsible stewards of the city’s resources, leading to sustainable and replicable results."
