Which is the richest city in Metro Manila?
What would be our basis? Could be tax revenues, number of big buildings, land area,
population, salaries of city officials?
We could also use bank accounts, bank deposits and bank branches as basis. Certainly,
banks locate their offices where they can make money.
The following data is sourced from the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC) reports,
which are also based on financial reports submitted by banks.
