Local plebiscites

Aside from the general election, local plebiscites were also held on this day. One was for the division of the province of Samar into three provinces, namely Eastern Samar, Northern Samar and Western Samar (renamed in 1969 as "Samar"). Six were for conversion of municipalities into cities, with two being renamed as well. All were carried, except for the cityhood of Batangas and renaming it to "Laurel City".

In Leyva vs. COMELEC, the Supreme Court reversed COMELEC's proclamation of the cityhood of Rajah Buayan being approved, as it ruled that its implementing law decreed that the majority of the votes must be taken into account all of the registered voters, and not just those who voted. As the votes for cityhood were less than the majority of all voters, the Rajah Buayan's cityhood was nullified, and it reverted back as the municipality of General Santos.
