Local elections are scheduled to be held in Manila on May 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 Philippine general election. The electorate will elect a mayor, a vice mayor, 36 members of the Manila City Council, and six district representatives to the House of Representatives of the Philippines. The officials elected in the election will assume their respective offices on June 30, 2025, for a three-year-long term.
In the 2022 elections, Asenso Manileño attained a landslide victory, winning 34 of the 36 elective seats in the Manila City Council and all six Manila seats to the House of Representatives of the Philippines. Then-vice mayor Honey Lacuna and representative Yul Servo were elected mayor and vice mayor respectively. [1]
The election is expected to be competitive after Isko Moreno, who served as mayor from 2019 to 2022, formed the Bagong Maynila party to contest the election with a full slate of candidates, despite a plea from the incumbent Mayor Lacuna to "reconsider his plans". [2]
In August 2024, members of the city council allied with Moreno filed an injunction against Vice Mayor Yul Servo, Majority Floor Leader Ernesto Isip Jr., Minority Floor Leader Philip Lacuna, and 19 other councilors for conducting a session on July 23, when the city government declared all work to be suspended in view of Typhoon Carina. [2] The Moreno allies who filed the suit condemned the meeting as being "illegal and secret", noting that ₱83 million city council funds were transferred to the office of the mayor during the meeting. [3] The accused belied the suit and said that the session was live streamed. [3]

The incumbent mayor is Honey Lacuna, who was elected in 2022 with 63.68% of the vote. Elected as a member of Asenso Manileño, Lacuna is seeking reelection to a second consecutive term as a member of Lakas–CMD, having joined the party on August 7, 2024. [4]
Lacuna previously served as vice mayor from 2019 to 2022 under former Mayor Isko Moreno, who did not seek a second term to run for president of the Philippines. [5] In July 2024, media outlets reported that Moreno plans to seek a return to the mayoralty under a newly formed "Bagong Maynila" party, severing his ties to the Asenso Manileño party but remaining a member of Aksyon Demokratiko, continuing his role as its president. [6] Following the reports, Lacuna remained committed with her reelection bid and encouraged Moreno to reconsider his plans for the mayoralty, while maintaining respect for his eventual decision, emphasizing her "sibling love" for the former. [7]
On July 22, 2024, Moreno introduced his vice mayoral running mate Ali Atienza, as well as the prospective local candidates under his ticket, including his son Joaquin. [8] However, Atienza was later replaced by his sister Chi.
