Naga, officially the City of Naga (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Naga; Tagalog: Lungsod ng Naga), is a 5th class component city in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 133,184 people. [4] Naga City is bordered to the north by the town of Minglanilla, to the west is the city of Toledo, to the east is the Cebu Strait, and to the south is the town of San Fernando.
It lies within the Cebu metropolitan area.
It is one of the two Philippine cities named Naga, the other being Naga in Camarines Sur. As such, the city is often confused by visitors coming primarily from Luzon and other parts of the country not near to Central Visayas with the city in Camarines Sur.
History[]
Naga was previously named by the first settlers as "Narra" due to the abundance of trees called "narra". The name eventually became to what is now known as "Naga". Naga became a municipality on June 12, 1829.
Cityhood[]
Cityhood was ratified in a plebiscite on 2 September 2007.
The Supreme Court declared the cityhood law of Naga and 15 other cities unconstitutional after a petition filed by the League of the Cities of the Philippines in its ruling on November 18, 2008. On December 22, 2009, the cityhood law of Naga and 15 other municipalities regain its status as cities again after the Supreme Court reversed its ruling on November 18, 2008. On August 23, 2010, the Supreme Court reinstated its ruling on November 18, 2008, causing Naga and 15 cities to become regular municipalities. Finally, on February 15, 2011, Naga becomes a city again including the 15 municipalities declaring that the conversion to cityhood met all legal requirements.
After six years of legal battle, in its board resolution, the League of the Cities of the Philippines acknowledged and recognized the cityhood of Naga and 15 other cities.
