01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Paranaque City—703,245, Asia/Manila, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Paranaque City is GeoNames ID 1694781. Its recorded administrative path is Southern Manila District → National Capital Region → Philippines, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Paranaque City occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2025-09-25; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Paranaque City ranks 780 by recorded population. Inside the 22 selected Philippines entries it ranks 15; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 438.

Paranaque City's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth of the atlas. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1694781, the coordinate pair 14.4816 / 121.0175, country rank 15 of 22, and neighbor GeoNames 1707174 at 5.084 km bind Paranaque City to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Paranaque City's reference point is 14.4816° north and 121.0175° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Manila is shared by 22 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA3 is shared by 60 rows. Paranaque City's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Paranaque City's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Paranaque City's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Paranaque City, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
