2013 Pasig local elections

Local elections were held in Pasig on May 13, 2013, within the Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the congressman, and the councilors, six of them in the two districts of the city.

Background

Mayor Bobby Eusebio was supposed to run for third term, but he withdrew in the race to return to private life.^[1] He was replaced by his wife, Maria Belen "Maribel" Andaya-Eusebio, sister of former Budget Secretary Rolando "Nonoy" Andaya Jr. Eusebio was challenged by her opponents Wainwright "Win" Rivera and Ismael Mejia.

Vice Mayor Rosalio "Yoyong" Martires was term-limited, and he ran as councilor instead. His place was contested by First District Councilor Iyo Christian Bernardo, Second District Councilor Rodrigo "Roding" Asilo, Vicente "Buddy" Fabella, and Nemencio San Juan.

Rep. Roman Romulo was on his second term, and he ran for re-election for third term. He was challenged by Jun Salatandre of UNA.
