2025 Manila local elections
Local elections are scheduled to be held in Manila on May 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 Philippine general election. The electorate will elect a mayor, a vice mayor, 36 members of the Manila City Council, and six district representatives to the House of Representatives of the Philippines. The officials elected in the election will assume their respective offices on June 30, 2025, for a three-year-long term.
Background
In the 2022 elections, Asenso Manileño attained a landslide victory, winning 34 of the 36 elective seats in the Manila City Council and all six Manila seats to the House of Representatives of the Philippines. Then-vice mayor Honey Lacuna and representative Yul Servo were elected mayor and vice mayor respectively.[1]
The election is expected to be competitive after Isko Moreno, who served as mayor from 2019 to 2022, formed the Bagong Maynila party to contest the election with a full slate of candidates, despite a plea from the incumbent Mayor Lacuna to "reconsider his plans".[2]
In August 2024, members of the city council allied with Moreno filed an injunction against Vice Mayor Yul Servo, Majority Floor Leader Ernesto Isip Jr., Minority Floor Leader Philip Lacuna, and 19 other councilors for conducting a session on July 23, when the city government declared all work to be suspended in view of Typhoon Carina.[2] The Moreno allies who filed the suit condemned the meeting as being "illegal and secret", noting that ₱83 million city council funds were transferred to the office of the mayor during the meeting.[3] The accused belied the suit and said that the session was live streamed.[3]
Electoral system
Local elections in the Philippines are held in every second Monday of May, every three years starting in 1992. Single-seat positions (mayor, vice mayor and House representative) are elected via first-past-the-post-voting. The mayor and vice mayor are elected by the city at-large, while the House representative and city councilors are elected per district.
City council elections are done via plurality block voting; for the Manila City Council, the city is divided into six districts, with each district sending six councilors. There are two other ex officio seats, from the municipal presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan; these will be determined later in the year at the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.
Voters in Manila shall also elect senators and party-list representatives on this day.
Endorsements
On April 24, 2025, Isko Moreno and other candidates on his ticket is endorsed by Vice President Sara Duterte while campaigning at Tondo's District 2. Duterte also with some of DuterTen senatorial candidates, and Imee Marcos.[4][5]

Mayoral election
The incumbent mayor is Honey Lacuna, who was elected in 2022 with 63.68% of the vote. Elected as a member of Asenso Manileño, Lacuna is seeking reelection to a second consecutive term as a member of Lakas–CMD, having joined the party on August 7, 2024.[6]
Lacuna previously served as vice mayor from 2019 to 2022 under former Mayor Isko Moreno, who did not seek a second term to run for president of the Philippines.[7] Moreno was unsuccessful in his bid and had stated since 2021 that he would retire from politics if he lost.[8] However, in July 2024, media outlets reported that Moreno plans to seek a return to the mayoralty under a newly formed "Bagong Maynila" party, severing his ties to the Asenso Manileño party but remaining a member of Aksyon Demokratiko, continuing his role as its president.[9] Following the reports, Lacuna remained committed with her reelection bid and encouraged Moreno to reconsider his plans for the mayoralty, while maintaining respect for his eventual decision, emphasizing her "sibling love" for the former.[10]
