All cities created in the original Philippine Cities series are included, but some cities are not included (which are all listed here below, along with reasons why they are not included):

Bacolod City, Baguio City, and Zamboanga City not included after the savegame was lost.

Olongapo City, Iligan City, Surigao City, San Pablo City, Boracay Island, Dagupan City, Imus City, Dasmariñas City, and Laoag City not included because they are now created in a different series called ASEAN Cities.

Bandar Seri Begawan, Putrajaya, and Hat Yai City not included because of being located outside the Philippines.

##### REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH CITY TO BE IMPROVED #####

In this series, the term "improve" means the city is better than the present-day appearance of it, which ranges to:

• new major roads/thoroughfares
• new interchanges, flyovers, underpasses, tunnels, and roundabouts
• new expressways
• new public transportation systems, or the expansion of existing ones like the Manila Light Rail Transit System
• new districts or the re-development of existing districts
• new interchange facilities, or the expansion of existing ones
• beautification of the city, such as waterfronts, parks, leisure/tourism districts
• no pollution, in any kind from air, water, ground, to noise

##### SIMPLE TERMS: THE 5 REQUIREMENTS #####

In simple terms, there are three main requirements and two minor ones that must be met by each existing city (under construction or planned cities are not included):

1. The city must have an complex major thoroughfare system like in present-day Metro Manila, along with interchanges, flyovers, underpasses, and roundabouts at the busiest intersections.
2. The city must have at least one downtown or central business district (CBD) district, that will contain the city's tall skyscrapers and will provide a beautiful view of the city's skyline.
3. The city must have an developed mass transit system, ranging to buses, jeepneys, trams/streetcars, subways/elevated rail, commuter rail, ferries, blimps, and/or cable cars, along with interchange facilities that will allow commuters to switch between different modes of public transport under one building.
4. The city must have recreational districts, such as a waterfront, large city park, along with leisure and tourism districts (Optional).
5. The city must be free from any kinds of pollution, such as air, ground, water, or noise (Optional).

All these main and minor components must be met by each city that will appear in this series, any cities did not meet these requirements are not going to appear in this series, such as New Clark City which is planned already to have tall skyscrapers, major roads, and an developed mass transit system, also including the fact that it does not exist yet, thus cannot be improved.

In the future, mankind has created an device that prevents disasters from occuring, finally making cities safe from any kind of risk.

However, on August 21 at exactly 12:00 PM, the device malfunctions and releases disasters all over the globe, destroying cities from north to south, including the Philippines' capital Manila.

All disasters took place at exactly 12:00 PM, so there are no destruction scenes took place on afternoon, night, or even morning.

The destruction scenes of Improved Metro Manila is slower by 5-10% than normal, this is because of the metro's huge size plus the disasters that actually increases CPU usage.

Here it is, the epic finale of the Improved Philippine Cities series.

The video shows all cities featured on their final appearances, from north to south.

Cities that did not appear in the series, such as Bacolod or Zamboanga, are still not included.

A huge thank you for those supported this series, I'll look forward on doing another series in the future.
