Background

Mayor Edwin Olivarez was on third and final term. He ran as representative of city's first district, switched places with his brother, First District Representative Eric Olivarez, was also on third and final term.^[1] Olivarez was challenged by Baclaran Barangay Captain Julius Anthony "Jun" Zaide, who broke the long time rule of the Cailles family (Olivarez's allies) in Barangay Baclaran, as well as Kainos Breed Fellowship International founder Gerardo "Bishop Jherie" Mores and independents Rolando Aguilar and John Andrew Uy.

Vice Mayor Jose Enrico "Rico" Golez was on third and final term. He ran as councilor of the second district. His sister Guada Golez was initially named to run in his place,^[2] but his party later nominated Second District Councilor Vincent Kenneth "Binky" Favis. Favis faced his fellow councilors, Joan Villafuerte-Densing and Maritess "Tess" de Asis from first and second district respectively.

First District Representative Eric Olivarez was term-limited and instead ran for mayor. His brother, Mayor Edwin Olivarez, switched places with him and was nominated by his party. Olivarez was challenged by Jayson Moral and Pedro "Pete" Montaño.

Second District Representative Myra Joy Tambunting chose not to run for re-election. Her husband, former Representative Gustavo "Gus" Tambunting, ran in her place. Tambunting was challenged by Josef Maganduga.
