Election-related incidents

In February 11, 2025, three people were arrested for trying to extort ₱90 million ( US$ 1.83 million) from two municipal candidates in Enrile, Cagayan by claiming to be COMELEC-connected IT specialists who could rig the election results in their favor. ^[28] On February 28, COMELEC filed cybercrime charges against vice-mayoral candidate Jeryll Harold Respicio in Reina Mercedes, Isabela, after he posted a video on social media appearing to demonstrate a method on how to tamper with the election results. ^[29] After he won the election, Comelec suspended his proclamation until June 2. ^[30]

On April 23, Joel Ruma, the reelectionist mayor of Rizal, Cagayan, was shot dead by a suspected sniper while campaigning, with three people injured in the same incident. ^[31] On April 26, a candidate for councilor in San Pablo, Isabela was shot and injured along with two companions in an ambush. ^[32]
