01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Taguig—1,308,085, 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 Taguig is GeoNames ID 1684308. Its recorded administrative path is Southern Manila District → National Capital Region → Philippines, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Taguig 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, Taguig ranks 384 by recorded population. Inside the 22 selected Philippines entries it ranks 5; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 225. Its 1,308,085 population value is 1.64 times the 797,334 median for the country cohort and 1.30 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Taguig falls between the leading tenth and quarter of this atlas's Philippines population cohort. Taguig's recorded value is above the country-cohort median but remains below twice that benchmark. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Taguig's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Makati City at 5.779 km with 510,383 recorded people; Pasig City at 7.221 km with 853,050 recorded people; Paranaque City at 8.168 km with 703,245 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 2.389 km. Compared with Makati City, Taguig's recorded population is 2.56 times as large. Against Taguig, Makati City follows Southern Manila District → National Capital Region → Philippines in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Philippines cohort, uses the shared Asia/Manila identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Taguig's. Against Taguig, Pasig City follows Eastern Manila District → National Capital Region → Philippines in the source. Its point has higher latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Philippines cohort, uses the shared Asia/Manila identifier, and carries second-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is below Taguig's. Against Taguig, Paranaque City follows Southern Manila District → National Capital Region → Philippines in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Philippines cohort, uses the shared Asia/Manila identifier, and carries the same third-order administrative seat class. Its recorded population is below Taguig's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 71 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Taguig'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 1684308, the coordinate pair 14.5243 / 121.0792, country rank 5 of 22, and neighbor GeoNames 1703417 at 5.779 km bind Taguig to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Taguig's reference point is 14.5243° north and 121.0792° 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. Taguig's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Taguig's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Taguig's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Taguig, 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.
