Mayoral and vice mayoral election

Presidential adviser to the peace process Avelino Razon announced his candidacy on August 9 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium running for the We Are the Reason Movement, under the Nationalist People's Coalition.[1]

Incumbents mayor Alfredo Lim and vice mayor Isko Moreno announced their candidacy for mayor on Moreno's birthday party at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum on October 25, hosted by German Moreno (no relation to Isko), a known Lim ally and Isko's protege. Moreno, despite being backed by the Asenso Manileño party, will be Lim's running mate.[2]

Former three-term mayor and current Environment and Natural Resources secretary Lito Atienza is expected run to reclaim his seat. Atienza has Ma. Lourdes "Bonjay" Isip-Garcia as his vice mayoral running mate. Bonjay Isip is a Councilor of the 6th District and is now running for vice mayor. Isip first won as Councilor in 1992 and later became both Deputy City Administrator and City Administrator. Isip in 1992, was the youngest elected councilor in Manila's history.

Lito Atienza served as mayor from 1998 to 2007. Atienza served as Lim's running mate when Lim served as mayor from 1992 to 1998.[3] Bagatsing, of the Asenso Manileño party, bolted and joined Atienza's ship. Meanwhile, Lim will support the Liberal Party national ticket of Benigno Aquino III and Mar Roxas, while holding his own Kapayapaan, Kaunlaran at Katarungan (Peace, Prosperity and Justice) standard; Moreno will support the Nacionalista Party ticket headed by Manuel Villar.[4]

After announcement of the Lim-Moreno ticket, former Philippine National Police chief Avelino Razon announced that he had chosen Moreno as his running mate. After Moreno's announcement that he will run under Lim's banner, at least six councilors bolted from Asenso Manileño and went to Razon's side.[5] Moreno eventually became a guest candidate in Razon's ticket, as his vice mayoral candidate.[6]

The primary issue for the upcoming campaign is the retention of the oil depots at Pandacan. Lim and Moreno supported its retention while Atienza and Bagatsing supported its removal.[7]

Atienza, leader of the Liberal Party wing not recognized by both the Commission on Elections and the Supreme Court, will be the "guest candidate" of the Joseph Estrada-led Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP). Atienza, a Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo supporter, has maintained cordial relations with Estrada.[8] In the end, Atienza's certificate of candidacy stated that he was nominated by the Liberal Party,[9] but under the "Buhayin ang MayniLA" (Revive Manila) ticket, and as a guest candidate of the PMP.[10] His guest candidacy was later upgraded to a full-fledged nomination by the PMP as announced by the party's director for political affairs.[11]
