City Council election

Voting is via plurality-at-large voting: Voters vote for ten (10) candidates and the ten candidates with the highest amount of votes are elected.

Plurality-at-large voting, also known as block vote or multiple non-transferable vote (MNTV), is a non-proportional voting system for electing several representatives from a single multimember electoral district using a series of check boxes and tallying votes similar to a plurality election. Multiple winners are elected simultaneously to serve the district. Block voting is not a system for obtaining proportional representation; instead the usual result is that where the candidates divide into definitive parties the most popular party in the district sees its full slate of candidates elected, resulting in a landslide.

Retiring and Term limited candidates as follow:

Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino Political party in the Philippines
