Life & Economy

Baguio City's economy made ₱217.5 billion of goods and services in 2025, ₱551,407 for each person. About 8 of every 1,000 people lived below the poverty line in 2023.

Economy, 2025Gross domestic productThe value of all the goods and services made in a place in a year: the size of its economy. The PSA measures it for every region, province and highly urbanized city. Counted at 2018 prices, it leaves out the rise in prices, so one year can be set beside another.More in the glossary: ₱217.5 billion^[21]Its gross domestic product at current prices; ₱188.9 billion at 2018 prices.

Poverty, 2023Poverty incidenceHow many of every 100 people live in families whose income is below the poverty line: what a person needs in a year for food and other basic needs, as the PSA sets it for each province.

Income classIncome classThe Department of Finance sorts provinces, cities and municipalities into classes by their average yearly income over recent years: 1st class has the most. It measures the local government's income, not how well off its people are.More in the glossary: 1st class^[5]

About 8 of every 1,000 people in Baguio City lived below the poverty line in 2023 (0.8%)^[24]

The PSA's survey puts it between 0.1% and 1.5%, with 95% confidence. The poverty line was ₱31,654 a person for the year.

The PSA notes: Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2023 poverty incidence among population should be used with caution.

Government & Leaders

A mayor leads Baguio City. Its local laws, called ordinances, are passed by the Sangguniang Panlungsod (the city council), led by the vice mayor. The mayor, the vice mayor and the council's elected members serve three-year terms, and none may serve more than three in a row.^{[14, 15]}

City classCity classA highly urbanized city or an independent component city governs itself apart from the province around it: its voters do not elect the governor. A component city is part of its province.More in the glossary: Highly urbanized city: it governs itself apart from the province of Benguet^[5]
Legislative districtLegislative districtThe area that elects one member of the House of Representatives. A big province or city may have several.More in the glossary: Lone district of Baguio City^{[19, 20]}

Luzon
Is Luzon named after a rice mortar?
They say Luzon is named after the lusong, the wooden mortar for pounding rice. The oldest records, from Ming China to Pigafetta's word list, leave a strange clue, but no record of a naming.
