Quick Facts All 81 provincial governorships, First party ...

Highly urbanized cities and independent component cities such as Angeles City, Bacolod, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu City, Davao City, Iloilo City and Metro Manila with the municipality of Pateros are outside the jurisdiction of any province and thus would not run elections for governors of their mother provinces (Pampanga, Negros Occidental, Benguet, Misamis Oriental, Cebu, Davao del Sur and Iloilo for Angeles, Bacolod, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu City, Davao City and Iloilo City, respectively). These cities and Pateros would elect mayors instead.

Davao Occidental held its first gubernatorial election on this day.
