The City of Muntinlupa ranked eighth among cities nationwide in efficient use of public funds, according to data from the Department of Finance-Bureau of Local Government Finance for fiscal year 2024.

The ranking is based on total current operating expenditures per capita, which measures how local governments manage operating expenses relative to population size.

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon said the standing reflects the city’s focus on transparent and prudent spending.

“It doesn’t take a lavish government to be effective. In Muntinlupa, every peso of public funds has a clear direction, toward the welfare of the people,” Biazon said.

A DOF-BLGF assessment typically covers areas including local revenue generation and compliance with fiscal policies, conducted through performance audits, annual assessments, and technical supervision.
