Local elections were held in Meycauayan City, Bulacan on May 9, 2016, as part of the 2016 Philippine general election. Voters elected a mayor, vice mayor, and ten city councilors. [1] [2]
Due to term limits, incumbent mayor Joan Alarilla ran for Representative of the 4th District of Bulacan, facing incumbent congresswoman Linabelle Villarica. In the mayoral race, Alarilla’s daughter, Judy Alarilla of the NPC, ran against Villarica’s husband, Attorney Henry Villarica of the Liberal Party. Independent candidate Pabling Milan also contested the position. [1]
The mayor and vice mayor were elected separately; thus, they may come from different parties.
