Reference to "municipalities" in the Constitution may be interpreted as referring exclusively to province-governed municipalities, expressed as "province, municipality" in Article 109, Subparagraph 3, and as "municipality" in Article 128; or referring also to Executive-governed municipalities, as can be seen in Article 26, Subparagraph 1, ─ "county, municipality". Article 118 of the Constitution categorizes the self-governance of Executive-governed municipalities in Chapter XI, "System of Local Government ─ Province"; thus Executive-governed municipalities that operate on the said legal principles are on the same level as local self-governing bodies, and have the same status, authority, obligations, financial resources and responsibilities as provinces under the Constitution. Executive-governed municipalities are densely populated, have extraordinary political, economic and cultural circumstances, and their infrastructure construction fund needs exceed those of counties and province-governed municipalities. Therefore, their financial resources shall be allocated efficiently so as not to affect the complete development of infrastructure construction adversely, and the ratio of their educational, scientific and cultural funds in proportion to the total budget shall resemble that of the provinces.
