He again ran for Mayor in 2001 and was elected in 2004 and 2007. He then elected again in 2013. He will run for his tenth nonconsecutive term as Mayor without a vice mayoral candidate under the Liberal Party.

His opponent is councilor Kristine Balmes, incidentally his former daughter-in-law under the PDP–Laban.

Substituting him is his youngest and only daughter, Beverley Rose Dimacuha, also wife of incumbent Board Member Mario Vittorio "Marvey" Mariño.^[1] This will be the first time, that women will be battling the mayoralty post. Whoever wins will be the second female mayor next to former Mayor Vilma Dimacuha who was elected in 2010.
