The City of Greater Manila, also known simply as Greater Manila and sometimes Greater Manila Area (GMA),[1] was a chartered city[2] which existed during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II era. It was governed by the Commonwealth of the Philippines. It served as a model for the present-day Metro Manila and the administrative functions of the Governor of Metro Manila, both established three decades later during the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos.
Greater Manila was formed on January 1, 1942, by virtue of Executive Order No. 400 signed by President Manuel L. Quezon as an emergency measure. It was a merger of the cities of Manila and Quezon City and the then-Rizal towns of Caloocan, Makati, Mandaluyong, Parañaque, Pasay, and San Juan.[2][3][4][5] Jorge B. Vargas was appointed Mayor of the City of Greater Manila in December 1941. He then appointed León Guinto as his successor a month later, in January 1942.
Mayors of the towns and cities that comprised the City of Greater Manila became assistant mayors (equivalent to present-day vice mayors) of the consolidated city and were under the Mayor of the City of Greater Manila.[3][5] It was also represented in the National Assembly of the Japanese-sponsored Second Philippine Republic under the at-large district of Manila.
On July 26, 1945, President Sergio Osmeña signed Executive Order No. 58, which would reduce the territories and thus dissolve the City of Greater Manila. The order took effect six days later, on August 1. The cities and towns that were once part of the city then regained their respective pre-war status.[6]
