Parañaque has strengthened its ranking among the richest cities in the Philippines, climbing up to seventh place in 2024, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said.

City treasurer Anthony Pulmano said based on latest PSA data, Parañaque secured the seventh spot among the richest highly urbanized cities (HUCs) in the Philippines based on gross domestic product (GDP) per capita.

"Makati remains the richest city in the country in terms of GDP per capita, while Caloocan ranks as the poorest. Parañaque, however, has demonstrated strong economic performance, surpassing Taguig, Quezon City and Muntinlupa," Pulmano said.
