Cavite 5th District Representative Roy Loyola, the author of the bill in the House of Representatives, said the proposal would further attract business opportunities in the locality and boost its pace of development.Carmona has total assets worth P6.2 billion as of 2021, the highest among Philippine towns.

If Republic Act No. 11938 is ratified, Carmona will become the eighth city in Cavite after Cavite City, Trece Martires, Tagaytay, Dasmariñas, Bacoor, Imus, and General Trias.
