The Taguig City Council (Filipino: Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Taguig) is the legislature of Taguig City, Philippines. The legislative body is composed of 18 councilors, with 16 councilors elected from Taguig City's two councilor districts[1] and two elected from the ranks of barangay (neighborhood) chairmen and the Sangguniang Kabataan (youth councils).[2] The council's presiding officer is the vice-mayor (elected by the city).[3] The council is responsible for creating laws and ordinances under the jurisdiction of Taguig City.[3][4] Although the mayor can veto proposed bills, the council can override the veto with a two-thirds supermajority.[2]
