Local elections were held in Manila on May 9, 2016, as a part of the 2016 Philippine general election. Voters elected candidates for mayor, vice mayor, six congressmen, and the 36 councilors that would be members of the city council. Incumbent mayor Joseph Estrada won the elections, securing him to serve his second three-year term as the mayor of Manila. He won by a slim margin at only more than 2,000 votes against his closest rival, former Manila mayor Alfredo Lim.[1][2] Dr. Maria Sheilah “Honey” Lacuna-Pangan, daughter of former Manila vice mayor Danny Lacuna, Estrada’s running-mate, topped the vice mayoral race with 268,969 votes.[3]

Background

[edit]

Incumbent mayor and former president Joseph "Erap" Estrada was first elected as mayor in 2013. He defeated then-incumbent mayor Alfredo Lim in a closely contested election, winning 53% of the vote to Lim's 47%.

Estrada announced in April 2015 that he would be running for re-election. This was in total contrast to his May 9, 2012 pronouncement that he would only serve for one term should he be elected to the post back then, after which he would subsequently retire from politics.[4][5]

Unlike Estrada, his running mate in 2013, three-term incumbent vice mayor Isko Moreno was term-limited, as he had served for three consecutive terms. He instead ran for a seat in the Senate.

Sources indicated that although Manila leaders identified with Estrada under the local Asenso Manileño party, Moreno included, were pushing for former Manila vice mayor Danny Lacuna to be his running mate, Estrada was said to have seriously considered his current city administrator, Jojo Alcovendaz, to be his vice mayoral candidate under his party, despite the latter's San Juan residence. However, the Estrada camp, upon further consultation, eventually chose former 4th district councilor and city social services head Honey Lacuna, Danny's daughter, as his running mate.[6]

On July 22, 2015, incumbent 5th district representative Amado Bagatsing launched his bid to be the next mayor of the city once governed by his father, former mayor Ramon Bagatsing, offering himself as an alternative while blaming the city’s "deterioration" on the incumbent and his predecessor. His running mate was the son of former mayor and current Buhay Party-list Representative Lito Atienza, current 5th district councilor and 2007 mayoral candidate Ali Atienza.[7] On October 12, 2015, Bagatsing made his bid official by filing his certificate of candidacy.[8]

On October 13, 2015, Alfredo Lim filed to run again for his old post. He was the official candidate of the ruling Liberal Party. His running mate was incumbent 1st district Rep. Benjamin Asilo.[9]

Campaign

[edit]
Joseph Estrada's (second from right) election campaign rally in Tondo, Manila along with Isko Moreno (left), Grace Poe (second from left)

The local campaign period started on March 26, 2016. Estrada, with running mate Honey Lacuna, held their proclamation rally at the Liwasang Bonifacio, while Lim, with running mate Benjamin Asilo started their campaign at Plaza Miranda, on March 28, 2016, two days after the official start of campaigning for local candidates.

During the incumbent mayor's rally, Estrada formally endorsed his goddaughter Grace Poe as his choice for president and Bongbong Marcos for vice president.[10] He picked Poe over his running mate Jejomar Binay of the United Nationalist Alliance. He said that the mayor's gratitude to the presidential candidate's father Fernando Poe, Jr., a candidate of the 2004 Philippine presidential election but later lost, as one of the reasons why he made the decision to endorse Poe.[11]

Among Estrada's senatorial candidates that he supported were Joel Villanueva, Panfilo Lacson, Manny Pacquiao, Martin Romualdez, Getulio Napeñas, Neri Colmenares, Sherwin Gatchalian, Richard J. Gordon, Migz Zubiri, Sergio Osmeña III, Francis Tolentino and Isko Moreno, the incumbent vice mayor of the city.[10] Major roads in Manila including the MacArthur Bridge were closed down due to the event.[12]

Lim's campaign started with his visit to the Islamic Center in San Miguel, together with Liberal Party's presidential bet Mar Roxas. The two then went to Plaza Miranda for the former mayor's proclamation rites, which was attended by 5,000 supporters.[13] Roxas' running mate Leni Robredo and President Benigno Aquino III also attended the rally.[14]

A day before the two rallies, Amado Bagatsing and his running mate Ali Atienza kicked-off their campaign in Tondo.

On April 27, 2016, Alfredo Lim asked his running mate, Benjamin Asilo, to withdraw from the vice mayoral race due to low survey standings, replacing him with Ali Atienza, who is already the running mate of Amado Bagatsing. Asilo declined to withdraw, choosing to continue his campaign even without a mayoral running mate.[15][16]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Lim originally picked Atong Asilo as running-mate, but Asilo later dropped by Lim and the latter supported and picked Ali Atienza of UNA (who also Amado Bagatsing's running-mate).
  2. ^ As being originally picked by Alfredo Lim as his running mate, Benjamin Asilo belong to Lim's KKK, but did not have any alliance after being dropped by the latter.
  3. ^ Asenso Manileño's candidates were labeled as members of UNA in the ballot, thus no Asenso candidate did not stand outside UNA

    Local elections were held in Manila on May 9, 2016, as a part of the 2016 Philippine general election. Voters elected candidates for mayor, vice mayor, six congressmen, and the 36 councilors that would be members of the city council. Incumbent mayor Joseph Estrada won the elections, securing him to serve his second three-year term as the mayor of Manila. He won by a slim margin at only more than 2,000 votes against his closest rival, former Manila mayor Alfredo Lim.[1][2] Dr. Maria Sheilah “Honey” Lacuna-Pangan, daughter of former Manila vice mayor Danny Lacuna, Estrada’s running-mate, topped the vice mayoral race with 268,969 votes.[3]

    Background

    Incumbent mayor and former president Joseph "Erap" Estrada was first elected as mayor in 2013. He defeated then-incumbent mayor Alfredo Lim in a closely contested election, winning 53% of the vote to Lim's 47%.

    Estrada announced in April 2015 that he would be running for re-election. This was in total contrast to his May 9, 2012 pronouncement that he would only serve for one term should he be elected to the post back then, after which he would subsequently retire from politics.[4][5]

    Unlike Estrada, his running mate in 2013, three-term incumbent vice mayor Isko Moreno was term-limited, as he had served for three consecutive terms. He instead ran for a seat in the Senate.

    Sources indicated that although Manila leaders identified with Estrada under the local Asenso Manileño party, Moreno included, were pushing for former Manila vice mayor Danny Lacuna to be his running mate, Estrada was said to have seriously considered his current city administrator, Jojo Alcovendaz, to be his vice mayoral candidate under his party, despite the latter's San Juan residence. However, the Estrada camp, upon further consultation, eventually chose former 4th district councilor and city social services head Honey Lacuna, Danny's daughter, as his running mate.[6]

    On July 22, 2015, incumbent 5th district representative Amado Bagatsing launched his bid to be the next mayor of the city once governed by his father, former mayor Ramon Bagatsing, offering himself as an alternative while blaming the city’s "deterioration" on the incumbent and his predecessor. His running mate was the son of former mayor and current Buhay Party-list Representative Lito Atienza, current 5th district councilor and 2007 mayoral candidate Ali Atienza.[7] On October 12, 2015, Bagatsing made his bid official by filing his certificate of candidacy.[8]

    On October 13, 2015, Alfredo Lim filed to run again for his old post. He was the official candidate of the ruling Liberal Party. His running mate was incumbent 1st district Rep. Benjamin Asilo.[9]

    Campaign

    Joseph Estrada's (second from right) election campaign rally in Tondo, Manila along with Isko Moreno (left), Grace Poe (second from left)

    The local campaign period started on March 26, 2016. Estrada, with running mate Honey Lacuna, held their proclamation rally at the Liwasang Bonifacio, while Lim, with running mate Benjamin Asilo started their campaign at Plaza Miranda, on March 28, 2016, two days after the official start of campaigning for local candidates.

    During the incumbent mayor's rally, Estrada formally endorsed his goddaughter Grace Poe as his choice for president and Bongbong Marcos for vice president.[10] He picked Poe over his running mate Jejomar Binay of the United Nationalist Alliance. He said that the mayor's gratitude to the presidential candidate's father Fernando Poe, Jr., a candidate of the 2004 Philippine presidential election but later lost, as one of the reasons why he made the decision to endorse Poe.[11]

    Among Estrada's senatorial candidates that he supported were Joel Villanueva, Panfilo Lacson, Manny Pacquiao, Martin Romualdez, Getulio Napeñas, Neri Colmenares, Sherwin Gatchalian, Richard J. Gordon, Migz Zubiri, Sergio Osmeña III, Francis Tolentino and Isko Moreno, the incumbent vice mayor of the city.[10] Major roads in Manila including the MacArthur Bridge were closed down due to the event.[12]

    Lim's campaign started with his visit to the Islamic Center in San Miguel, together with Liberal Party's presidential bet Mar Roxas. The two then went to Plaza Miranda for the former mayor's proclamation rites, which was attended by 5,000 supporters.[13] Roxas' running mate Leni Robredo and President Benigno Aquino III also attended the rally.[14]

    A day before the two rallies, Amado Bagatsing and his running mate Ali Atienza kicked-off their campaign in Tondo.

    On April 27, 2016, Alfredo Lim asked his running mate, Benjamin Asilo, to withdraw from the vice mayoral race due to low survey standings, replacing him with Ali Atienza, who is already the running mate of Amado Bagatsing. Asilo declined to withdraw, choosing to continue his campaign even without a mayoral running mate.[15][16]

    Notes

    1. ^ Lim originally picked Atong Asilo as running-mate, but Asilo later dropped by Lim and the latter supported and picked Ali Atienza of UNA (who also Amado Bagatsing's running-mate).
    2. ^ As being originally picked by Alfredo Lim as his running mate, Benjamin Asilo belong to Lim's KKK, but did not have any alliance after being dropped by the latter.
    3. ^ Asenso Manileño's candidates were labeled as members of UNA in the ballot, thus no Asenso candidate did not stand outside UNA
