It is organized into 17 local government units (LGUs), with 16 cities and one municipality in each. Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela, Quezon City, Marikina, Pasig, Taguig, Makati, Manila, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Pasay, Paraaque, Las Pias, and Muntinlupa are among the 16 cities in the list. The only municipality in the region is Pateros. A mayor is in charge of each of Metro Manila's 16 cities and one municipality. The provinces of Bulacan to the north, Rizal to the east, Cavite to the south-west, and Laguna to the south-west border the NCR. To the west is Manila Bay, and to the east is Laguna de Bay.

Being home to about 13,484,462 of people, a continual rural-urban movement has resulted in this population concentration. The demand on municipal services has had a negative impact on the city's quality of life. As a result, different government programs and resettlement schemes have been adopted to alleviate the population density issue.

Chinese make up the largest single immigrant community, accounting for less than one-tenth of the population. Although there are some Protestants, Muslims, and Buddhists, the city's population is overwhelmingly Roman Catholic. The congregations of the two national churches, the Iglesia ni Kristo and the Philippine Independent, or Aglipayan, Church, are both small.

Manila also manufactures lumber and wood products, rope and cordage, soap, and a variety of other items. Factories are often tiny and concentrated in the congested areas of Tondo, Binondo, and Santa Cruz, which also include railroad and truck terminals. The districts of Paco, Pandacan, and Santa Ana are home to heavy industries.

Within the metropolitan area, as well as between the city and the provinces and other nations, trade thrives. The port of Manila handles the majority of the Philippines' imports and exports. The Development Bank of the Philippines, the Philippine National Bank, the Philippine Veterans Bank, the Government Service Insurance System, the Social Security System, and a number of other commercial and developmental banks all have their headquarters in Manila. The Philippine Stock Exchange and private insurance organizations also help to the mobilization of savings for investment.

During morning and evening rush hours, traffic congestion is particularly bad on the bridges. Nearby towns act as dormitory suburbs, and many people commute to the city, contributing to the traffic congestion. Authorities tried to remedy the problem by implementing a "number coding" program that limited access to metro Manila roadways during rush hours depending on the final digit of a driver's license plate. Northern and southern Luzon are served by bus routes.

But for those living in the provinces, Metro Manila may be their only hope for stability. Or so they thought. Internally migrating to the city in hopes of fulfilling the Manila dream, rural-to-urban travelers are often left unprepared to face the reality the city brings. If lucky, they can land a job wherever. For many other migrants, their existence is manifested through being stranded, in poverty, and for the worst-case scenario, homeless.

This is reflected in the number of OFW workers abroad and also in the congestion of impoverished individuals in the capital city. Two options remain at standpoint; (1) develop and grow provinces to be economically efficient or (2) establish inclusive means in Metro Manila in light of accommodating internal migrants.

The capital is home to poorly done infrastructure, overdue construction projects, barely moving traffic, and congested communities alike. Some cities in the metro are better than others, but the issue at hand remains relevant. More often than not, these advanced districts are inaccessible to the greater public and create even more dissonance in social status.
