The Taguig City Council (Filipino: Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Taguig) is the legislature of Taguig, Philippines. The legislative body is composed of 18 councilors, with 16 councilors elected from Taguig's two councilor districts (coextensive with the Legislative districts of Taguig and Taguig–Pateros, excluding the municipality of Pateros)[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.[3][4] Although the mayor can veto proposed bills, the council can override the veto with a two-thirds supermajority.[2]
