The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has released the lists of Manila local candidates for the coming 2013 local elections.
The Manila local elections will be held in the City of Manila on May 13, 2013 within the Philippine general election. Registered voters will elect for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the six congressmen, and the councilors, six in each of the city’s six legislative districts.
Alfredo Lim is running for re-election for third consecutive time under the ruling Liberal Party. His runningmate is incumbent Councilor Lou Veloso. Mayor Lim will be challenged by former President Joseph Estrada, who was a longtime San Juan mayor. The two mayoral candidates formerly contested the presidency in 1998, with Estrada emerging victorious.
Estrada’s running mate is Vice Mayor Isko Moreno, who has served since 2007.
Manila is the capital city of the Philippines. It is one of the sixteen cities that comprise the national capital region called Metro Manila.
It has a total population of 1,652,171 according to the 2010 census and is the second most populous city in the Philippines, behind Quezon City, and the most densely populated city in the world, according to a 2010 study of Forbes Magazine.
The city of Manila is the site of Rizal Park. The park was constructed as an honor and dedication to the country’s national hero José Rizal, who was executed in the same place where the park was created by the Spaniards on charges of subversion.
Other hot spots in Manila include Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Rajah Sulayman Park, Manila Boardwalk, Liwasang Bonifacio, Mehan Garden, Paco Park, Remedios Circle, the Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden, Pandacan Linear Park, Malacañang Garden, and Manila Ocean Park.
