## Largest cities proper[edit]

This list features the most populous cities in ASEAN. Population figures were taken from within the city proper only. See the article on each city for sources. Myanmar data is the least reliable and subject to revision. It is important to note, that the general area of Metro Manila has been divided into its political cities and is not counted as one urban city in this ranking. Therefore the metropolis' true population is not reflected in this ranking (it would otherwise be first or second in population size, depending on the definition of Jakarta's true city area).
