Davao City stands out, ranking 2nd overall, further solidifying its reputation as a clean and eco-friendly urban hub. Cebu City follows closely, securing the 10th position, while the bustling capital, Manila, claims the 14th spot. These cities, all ranking in the top 16 cleanest cities in Southeast Asia, reflect the Philippines' growing focus on addressing environmental challenges, particularly in reducing pollution and improving air quality.
