Background
[edit]Incumbent City Mayor Herbert Bautista will be facing tight competition in the mayoralty elections against Leon Peralta, an advocate against Trapos (traditional politicians) and political dynasty, NGO worker Martin Sanchez, Jr. and radioman Alex Lague. Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte, who will seek a reelection, will faced four challengers, including radioman Rolando Jota, and businessmen Henry Samonte, Allan Bantilo and Glenn Nicanor Acol.[1]
In the congressional race, only four Congressmen, Winnie Castelo, Jorge Banal, Alfred Vargas and Kit Belmonte will be running for reelection in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th districts, without any opponents. House Speaker Sonny Belmonte will faced up against Hadja Lorna Aquino and Hans Palacios in the 4th district. Incumbent representative Francisco Calalay and his predecessor Bingbong Crisologo will be tossed-up for the seat in the 1st district.[2]
