Bacoor City has 47 barangays.
Bacoor City sits on Manila Bay's coastline just south of Metro Manila, a heavily urbanized commuter city built around SM City Bacoor's retail anchor and a growing manufacturing and services base. Its coastal barangays carry a fishing, salt-making, and oyster and mussel-culture history that has diminished over recent decades as pollution and land conversion reshaped the shoreline.

That same coastal position makes chronic flooding Bacoor's clearest recurring planning challenge. In August 2026, persistent habagat rains left 931 families — 3,172 individuals — sheltered across 44 evacuation centers, with the city's disaster office coordinating rescues alongside the Philippine Coast Guard and Bureau of Fire Protection in low-lying barangays; similar evacuations recurred in 2025 as well. The city also restructured its barangay map in 2023, merging 44 of 73 barangays into 18 and renaming 5 others via a July 29, 2023 plebiscite, bringing the current total to 47. Bacoor's population held roughly flat, from 664,625 in the 2020 Census to 661,381 in the 2024 Census.
Officials managing Bacoor's coastal flood exposure can compare notes with other Manila Bay-facing cities in the LGU directory. Planning teams evaluating digital compliance tools can explore the pilot program or schedule a consultation.

Bacoor has to coordinate flood evacuation across dozens of low-lying barangays on a recurring basis, on top of managing a 2023 barangay boundary restructuring that changed which office covers which street. Nova Gov's platform is built for exactly this kind of cross-department coordination, and the pilot program is designed to help planning offices bring hazard overlays and land-use records into one place.
When habagat rains hit Manila Bay's coastline, Bacoor has had to coordinate rescues and shelter across 44 evacuation centers at once. See how a founding pilot could line up hazard overlays with zoning and permitting records ahead of the next event.
