CITY DEVELOPMENT:
• The recent growth development in the country and Metro Manila, including Pasig and the outlying areas
had not only added a new role for the City of Pasig but also demanded a change in its traditional role to
the metropolitan and national structure.

• From an industrialized city, it now moves towards becoming the business and financial capital of the
metropolis and the country as well. From municipality, which has attained full growth and development
from its own objectives and goals, it has evolved into a city, which must function not only within but also
beyond the bounds of metropolitan structure in the light of an expanding environment of growth and
development throughout the country.

• City hood, realized in 1994, through the effort of Mayor Vicente P. Eusebio brought along new changes
and nurture new dreams and aspirations on the hearts and minds of the people. New hope, new
opportunities, new generation faces the city.
CITY DEVELOPMENT:
• City hood created opportunities for urban expansion. It attracted and opened the
floodgates of foreign investments particularly in upscale condominium development. It
added a new dimension in land development. The rising Skyline of the Ortigas Center is
now dominating the city’s landscape. It is now influencing development not only on the
fringes but also on the entire city. Commerce and trade has taken over the industries as
frontrunner/front liner of the economy.
