Background edit

Presidential Adviser to the Peace Process Avelino Razon announced his candidacy on August 9, 2009 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium running for the We Are the Reason Movement, under the Nationalist People's Coalition.[1]

Mayor Alfredo "Fred" Lim and Vice Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso announced their candidacies on Moreno's birthday party at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum on October 25, 2009, hosted by German Moreno (no relation to Isko), a known Lim ally and Isko's mentor. Moreno, despite being backed by the Asenso Manileño party, will be Lim's running mate.[2][3]

Former Mayor and Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Jose "Lito" Atienza ran to reclaim his seat. Atienza has Sixth District Councilor Ma. Lourdes "Bonjay" Isip-Garcia as his vice mayoral running mate. Isip-Garcia first won as Councilor in 1992 and later became both Deputy City Administrator and City Administrator. In 1992, she was the youngest elected councilor in Manila's history.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Jose "Lito" Atienza Jr. served as mayor from 1998 to 2007. Atienza served as Lim's running mate when Lim served as mayor from 1992 to 1998.[4] Rep. Amado Bagatsing, of the Asenso Manileño party, bolted and joined Atienza's ship. Meanwhile, Lim supported the Liberal Party national ticket of Benigno Aquino III and Mar Roxas, while holding his own Kapayapaan, Kaunlaran at Katarungan (Peace, Prosperity and Justice) standard; Moreno supported the Nacionalista Party ticket headed by Manuel Villar.[5]

After announcement of the Lim-Moreno ticket, former Philippine National Police chief Avelino Razon announced that he had chosen Moreno as his running mate. After Moreno's announcement that he will run under Lim's banner, at least six councilors bolted from Asenso Manileño and went to Razon's side.[6] Moreno eventually became a guest candidate in Razon's ticket, as his vice mayoral candidate.[7]

The primary issue for the upcoming campaign is the retention of the oil depots at Pandacan. Lim and Moreno supported its retention while Atienza and Bagatsing supported its removal.[8]

Atienza, leader of the Liberal Party wing not recognized by both the Commission on Elections and the Supreme Court, will be the "guest candidate" of the Joseph Estrada-led Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP). Atienza, a Gloria Macapagal Arroyo supporter, has maintained cordial relations with Estrada.[9] In the end, Atienza's certificate of candidacy stated that he was nominated by the Liberal Party,[10] but under the "Buhayin ang MayniLA" (Revive Manila) ticket, and as a guest candidate of the PMP.[11] His guest candidacy was later upgraded to a full-fledged nomination by the PMP as announced by the party's director for political affairs.[12]

Reaction edit

Lim won the election with more than 250,000 votes clear of Atienza, his nearest rival. After his proclamation on the afternoon of May 12, Lim thanked the Manileños for their support, as Razon conceded to Lim as early as before midnight of May 10. Atienza said that he will contest the result of election as the results did not match the random manual audit of the ballots. Moreno had an even easier time against his nearest rival, Bonjay Isip-Garcia as he won with a margin of almost 380,000 votes.[14]

Atienza put the result under protest. The Commission on Elections' First Division dismissed Atienza's protest on September 13, 2011, confirmed later by the commission en banc, saying that votes included within Atienza's protest would not be enough to overtake Lim's lead. Atienza subsequently withdrew his protest on January 11, 2013.[15]
