Muntinlupa was once notoriously known as the home of the New Bilibid Prison, where the country's most dangerous criminals languish. Nowadays, it has largely shaken off this negative image to become one of the most progressive cities in the country. Muntinlupa is home to some of the best malls in Metro Manila and is the location of Ayala Alabang Village, the biggest in the country and where many of the wealthiest families live.
Muntinlupa City is composed of a lone congressional district, and two legislative districts which are further subdivided into nine Barangays. Legislative District One contains four barangays in the southern half of the city, while legislative District Two occupies the
five barangays in the northern portion of the city.
While barangays are the admnistrative divisions of the city, and are legally part of the addresses of establishments and homes, many residents indicate their subdivision (village) instead of their barangay.
