Cityhood Laws Unconstitutional Ruling by Zetan's Jick M. Agramon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Supreme Court ruled in League of Cities of the Philippines v. COMELEC that the Cityhood Laws, which exempted certain municipalities from the income requirement for cityhood, were unconstitutional. The Court emphasized that all criteria for city creation must adhere to the Local Government Code and that laws must be uniformly applied without special exemptions. This ruling reinforced the principle of legislative uniformity and the equal protection clause of the Constitution.
