Also known as: Pasig, Lungsod ng Pasig
Pasig City is a highly urbanized city in Metro Manila (NCR), National Capital Region (NCR). Population 803K (PSA 2020 census), 30 barangays, land area 31.46 km².
Pasig is the smallest NCR city by area (31.5 km²) but one of the most economically dense — Ortigas Center accounts for a disproportionate share of the city's PHP 13.9B budget through real-property tax. The CLUP must mediate three pressures: continued vertical densification of the Ortigas-Pioneer commercial spine, the residential gentrification of Kapitolyo and Bagong Ilog, and the persistent flooding risk along the Pasig River corridor — particularly in Maybunga, Manggahan, and Pinagbuhatan barangays. The Pasig River rehabilitation program directly affects waterfront barangays and ties into the city's planned Pasig River Esplanade transit-tourism alignment. The PNR Manila-Calamba revival and proposed Metro Manila Subway alignments traverse the city.

Pasig City has received Galing Pook Awards recognizing innovative local governance programs, including its digital public services and participatory budgeting. The Pasig River ferry system, which operates stations along the city's western waterfront, provides an alternative commute corridor that directly shapes waterfront barangay development patterns in Maybunga and Pinagbuhatan. Kapitolyo, once a quiet residential area, has emerged as a commercial and culinary district whose property-tax revenue now constitutes a significant portion of the city's budget. Pasig has been named an SGLG passer (2023 and 2024, per DILG) — a pass/fail assessment across ten governance areas, not a thematic award — and runs online business permit processing and citizen feedback systems.
For NCR officials evaluating governance benchmarks, Pasig offers a compelling model — and neighboring cities can compare their own CLUP timelines against Pasig's in the LGU directory. Pasig's 30-barangay structure makes it an ideal early-adopter for full city-wide Nova Gov coverage. Officials interested in replicating Pasig's digital governance successes at scale can request a consultation to see how the platform integrates with existing e-services infrastructure.

Pasig's investment in e-government services aligns with Nova Gov's citizen-report routing and SLA-transparency dashboards. The flood-overlay tooling in AIOS directly supports the Pasig River corridor planning that dominates the city's CLUP revision cycle.
Pasig already leads on digital governance — the gap is an AI compliance layer over the e-services you run. Let's map how Nova Gov plugs into your existing online permit and feedback systems, adds parcel-level Ortigas-vs-residential zoning, and tracks Pasig River flood overlays across all 30 barangays.
