The City Mayor of Muntinlupa (Filipino: Punong Lungsod ng Muntinlupa) is the chief executive of Muntinlupa, a highly urbanized city in Metro Manila, Philippines. The mayor oversees city governance, implements city ordinances, administers public services, and represents Muntinlupa at official events. Like all local government heads in the Philippines, the mayor is elected via popular vote, and may not be elected for a fourth consecutive term (although the former mayor may return to office after an interval of one term). In case of death, resignation, or incapacity, the vice mayor becomes the mayor. The city mayor is restricted to three consecutive terms, totaling nine years, and cannot be elected for a fourth consecutive term. However, a mayor can be elected again after an interval of one term. Ruffy Biazon of One Muntinlupa is the incumbent since 2022.
Muntinlupa was originally part of the Province of Manila and later Rizal during the Spanish and American colonial eras. It became an independent municipality on January 1, 1918, by virtue of Executive Order No. 108, signed in 1917. It was converted into a highly urbanized city on March 1, 1995, under Republic Act No. 7926.[1]
Following the 1986 EDSA Revolution, Ignacio Bunye was appointed officer-in-charge in June 1986 and later elected in the 1988 municipal elections. Bunye became a founding figure in the city's modern political evolution, serving until the municipality became a city.[2]
Since cityhood, mayoral leadership has alternated among prominent local families, notably the Bunyes, Fresnedis, and Biazons. In May 2025, Ruffy Biazon was re-elected mayor unopposed, with Phanie Teves succeeding as vice mayor.[3]
