As the City of Makati long established its reputation as the country's financial crown jewel, it is still marking milestones one after another under the progressive leadership of Mayor Nancy Binay, making the city undergo a profound evolution.
Binay's governance is demonstrating that true urban success is not measured solely by towering skylines, but by how deeply a city integrates global standards of sustainability, public health, and social equity into the daily lives of its people.
This modern ethos was recently validated on the global stage when the University of Makati achieved a historic milestone, securing its first official ranking in the Times Higher Education Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026.
Recognizing the university's alignment with multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG), including poverty eradication, quality education, and clean energy, this international accolade reflects Binay's steadfast commitment to empowering local institutions and elevating the youth.
This global recognition is mirrored on the domestic front, where Mayor Binay's administration was honored as a Champion under the Department of the Interior and Local Government's (DILG) Sustainable Development Goals Achievement Champions and Exemplars Initiative.
The prestigious DILG recognition highlights Makati's innovative approach to governance.
This year, the city earned accolades for reducing inequalities through its Public Service Caravan - a mobile governance hub that brings vital city hall services directly to local neighborhoods - as well as special citations for its Voluntary SDG Review, showcasing a leadership style rooted in absolute transparency and evidence-based planning.

Through the Kadiwa ng Pangulo program in Barangay Poblacion, the city government partnered with national agencies to bring subsidized rice and essential goods to the public, featuring a highly impactful P20 Rice Program specifically curated for vulnerable sectors like senior citizens, solo parents, persons with disabilities and transport workers.
To ensure that these residents can actively participate in the local economy, the administration has launched massive employment thrusts, including a Mega Job Fair at the Ayala Malls Circuit and a subsequent Public Employment Service Office job fair at City Hall, bridging the gap between local talent and global enterprise.
A vital pillar of this holistic framework is an unwavering dedication to public health and institutional care.
Believing that a resilient city begins with healthy citizens, Binay has forged crucial inter-agency alliances, such as hosting the national government's "Lab for All" caravan at the Makati Coliseum.
In partnership with First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, the initiative provided hundreds of residents with free medical consultations, lab exams, and vital diagnostic screenings.
