The 1992 Naga City local elections were held on May 11, 1992, as part of the 1992 Philippine general election. Voters elected the mayor, vice mayor, and ten councilors. Then-incumbent mayor Jesse Robredo of the newly-formed Lakas EDSA-NUCD won re-election in a landslide, sweeping all positions including vice mayor and all ten seats in the city council. [1]
In 1988, Jesse Robredo was elected mayor of Naga City as an independent candidate at the age of 29, becoming one of the youngest local chief executives in the country. During his first term, Robredo introduced governance reforms aimed at increasing transparency, efficiency, and citizen participation, which earned him national recognition and local popularity. His administration was supported by a broad base of civic organizations, professionals, and business groups, forming the groundwork for a reform-oriented political coalition.
By 1992, Robredo aligned himself with the newly formed Lakas EDSA-NUCD party ahead of his re-election bid. His administration’s performance in delivering basic services, promoting good governance, and improving public trust helped consolidate political support. Lourdes V. Asence, who also aligned with the Lakas coalition, sought re-election as vice mayor. [2]
The opposition, led by candidates from the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, attempted to challenge Robredo’s reform legacy, but failed to gain traction. Robredo’s coalition swept all major positions in the city, winning the mayoralty, vice mayoralty, and all ten seats in the city council.
