The Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) is the local legislative body of a city government in the Philippines. The name of the legislative body comes from the Filipino words "sanggunian" ("council") –ultimately from the root word "sangguni" –both of Tagalog origins,with the latter word also of Kapampangan and Old Tagalog origins,and "lungsod" ("city") of both Tagalog –but ultimately Bisayan –origins;"city council" is therefore often used as an equivalent term in English or Philippine English. Members of the city council are referred to as "kagawad";while in mostly but not only predominantly Bisayan-speaking cities,they are called "konsehal" (masc.) and "konsehala" (fem.),or "sehal".
