Hi, I'm new on stata

I would like to add lables to some variables (or generate a new text
variable), which have the same code as in the example , but are in
fact, different, as in the example: The main city of the state
"Antioquia" coded by "1" is Medellin, and the main city of the state
"Cundinam" is 1 as well.

YEAR MONTH SEX STATE       MUNICIP MUNICIP2
1996   11           0     Antioquia  1             Medellin
1988   7             1     Cundinam 1             Bogota
1982   4             1     Bolivar      1             ...

Since there are many cities belonging to some municipalities using the
same value, how can I handle this, without changing all the cities
manually?

Thanks by your help
