In modern days, the term 'township' in the Philippines refers to new developments with their own amenities both Vertical and Horizontal projects. Д¬urrently, Mambukal, a hill station geographically located in Murcia, Negros Occidental, is the only legally constituted township in the Philippines, created under Republic Act No. Most municipal districts would later be converted into regular municipalities by executive orders from the Philippine President. The term was later replaced with ' municipal district'.

Many of these political divisions were originally established as rancherias during the Spanish Regime. In the Philippines, 'townships' referred to administrative divisions established during the American Civil Government in the country. The expression would generally equate to that of 'village' in England. The term 'township' is, however, still in common usage in New Zealand, in reference to a small town or urban community located in a rural area. The term 'municipality' has become rare in New Zealand since about 1979 and has no legal status. All land is part of either a 'city' (mostly urban) or a 'district' (mostly rural). In local government in New Zealand, there are no longer towns or townships.
