Electoral protest

On July 22, 2019, the Regional Trial Court Branch 21 in Malolos dismissed Atty. Jem Sy's electoral protest against incumbent mayor-elect Ricky Silvestre. It cited the principle of the Supreme Court in the case of Sy v. Marcias in 2010, that “a protest attacking all the precincts is reminiscent of a petition for failure of elections and not an election protest", in regards to the former contesting the results of 104 clustered precincts in Marilao. [4]

Vice Mayor

Incumbent Vice Mayor Henry Lutao is running for reelection as Vice Mayor, his opponents are Former Abangan Sur Barangay Captain Romell Pabale and Zaldy Marcelo. [3]
