Olongapo ([ʔɔˈlɔŋɡɐpo]), officially the City of Olongapo (Filipino: Lungsod ng Olongapo; Ilocano: Siudad ti Olongapo; Sambal: Siyodad nin Olongapo; Kapampangan: Lakanbalen/Ciudad ning Olongapo), is a 1st class highly urbanized city in the Central Luzon region of the Philippines. Located in the province of Zambales but governed independently from the province, it has a population of 260,317 people according to the 2020 census.[7]
Along with the municipality of Subic, it comprises Metro Olongapo, one of the twelve metropolitan areas in the Philippines.[9]
The term "Olongapo" is combined name with Filipino words Ulo, Ng and Apo (head and grandchild). Therefore, the name hence the Filipino words is form into Olongapo with Filipino word ng at middle and Ulo became Olo while Apo remains apo at the end. The name has 5 rhythms (O|lon|ga|po or O-lon-ga-po)
The City Council of Olongapo recently passed an ordinance adopting the title "City of Volunteers" for Olongapo City, to reflect its strong community-based volunteerism.
Paulino, on the other hand, is banking on his growing popularity as a friendly, easy to approach city mayor and his slogan "Transparency and Good Governance" to extend his stay as the city's chief executive.
