The election is expected to be competitive. The incumbent administration is contesting the election as Team Marikina City, with representative Marjorie Ann Teodoro and her running mate Marion Andres leading the ticket as members of the National Unity Party. Representative Stella Quimbo and former mayor Del de Guzman, affiliates of Lakas–CMD, are challenging the administration as Team Bagong Marikina. Senator Koko Pimentel entered the race as a candidate for representative in the first district, following a failed attempt to form an alliance with the administration.
Background
edit
In the 2022 elections, Marcelino Teodoro and Marion Andres were elected to the mayoralty and vice mayoralty respectively.[1] Their coalition, Team MarCy, attained outright control of the city council, winning 14 of the 16 elective seats in the legislature.[2] Nationally, a majority of the Marikina electorate voted for the UniTeam ticket of Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte.[3][4]
On May 15, 2024, a technical malversation complaint was filed against Teodoro and three other city officials before the Office of the Ombudsman, arguing that a 2024 budgetary ordinance passed by the Marikina City Council allocated ₱130 million in PhilHealth reimbursements to "IT equipment, repair and maintenance of infrastructure and/or donations", rather than the improvement the city's healthcare system, thereby violating a provision of the Universal Health Care Act.[5] Teodoro's camp derided the complaint as a "mere product of misapprehension and misunderstanding of the facts".[5] Mayors for Good Governance, a group of local executives, deemed the complaints politically motivated and described Teodoro as transparent and accountable.[6]
Campaign
editThe filing of certificates of candidacies were conducted from October 1 to 8, 2024.[7] With two major political factions in local politics—the National Unity Party-affiliated Teodoros and the Lakas–CMD-affiliated Quimbos—and Koko Pimentel contesting the elections, all local races are expected to be competitive, with Cristina Chi of the Philippine Star assessing the mayoral race as a "high-stakes" battle.[8] James Patrick Cruz of Rappler has described Marikina as being under a "conjugal leadership", given the dominance of the Teodoro and Quimbo couples in local politics.[9]
Team Marikina City
editIncumbent Mayor Marcelino Teodoro and his allies have been affiliated with the United Nationalist Alliance since 2022, following his ouster from the Nationalist People's Coalition after a verbal row with former mayor and former Representative Bayani Fernando over the aftermath of Typhoon Ulysses two years prior.[10] With Teodoro term-limited, his wife Representative Marjorie Ann will lead the administration ticket. The administration will contest the election as Team Marikina City (also stylized as Team MAArikiNa City), being affiliated with the National Unity Party, and being part of the wider Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas.[11] Their campaign seeks to make the city "climate-resilient" and more business-friendly with "digitalization" and "ease of doing business" policies.[11]
Team Bagong Marikina
editRepresentative Stella Quimbo and Former Representative Miro Quimbo are running for mayor and representative respectively under Team Bagong Marikina (also stylized as Team Bagong Marik1na).[12][13][better source needed] In an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Stella criticized the incumbent administration for "blocking" the programs she pushed in her capacity as a representative and cited their "political survival" as a motivation for running together, accusing the Teodoros of attempting to erase the couple from local politics.[14] Their campaign platform revolves around managing the city's debt, carrying out their vision of transforming Marikina into a "business-friendly" start-up city, and attending to the needs of the city's health centers.[15]
Former Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo has urged Ombudsman Samuel Martires to investigate the wealth of the Quimbos.[16]
Coalitions dissolved prior to election
editTeodoro–Pimentel
editFollowing the landslide victory of his Team MarCy coalition in 2022, Teodoro's administration has partnered with Senator Koko Pimentel and his wife, diplomat Kathryna Yu-Pimentel, in implementing projects in the city, including a health caravan in April 2024.[17] After Teodoro filed to run in the first district for the elections to the House of Representatives, Pimentel followed suit, pitting the two together and rendering the partnership moot.[18]
In an October 2024 interview, amid the filing of the certificates of candidacies, the former Pimentel revealed that he and Teodoro had agreed that he would run for representative in the first district while Teodoro would run in the second after forming informal arrangements from December 2023 to February 2024.[18] In response, Teodoro clarified that Pimentel's camp left the alliance on July 28, leaving the administration without a candidate in the first district, hence his decision to contest the congressional seat there.[19]

Mayoral election
editThe incumbent mayor is Marcelino Teodoro, who has served since 2016 and was reelected in 2022 with 82.08% of the vote. Teodoro is term-limited and is barred from seeking reelection. This will be the first election since 2010 in which an incumbent mayor is ineligible for reelection. Media outlets, including the Philippine Daily Inquirer and the Manila Bulletin, have speculated that Representative Marjorie Ann Teodoro will run for mayor and head the administration ticket in 2025.[20][21] Teodoro formally filed her certificate of candidacy for the office on October 7, 2024.[22]
Early in the race, Representative Stella Quimbo expressed her interest in running for mayor.[23][24] Despite facing scrutiny with her support of the Maharlika Wealth Fund and defense of Vice President Sara Duterte's use of confidential funds during the 19th Congress, Quimbo stated that she will remain with the Liberal Party for the 2025 election.[24][25] Her retention in the party was affirmed by party officials amid calls to sanction Quimbo as a party member, citing its recognition of the "freedom of expression and dissent".[26] Quimbo's husband, Miro, confirmed her bid for the mayoralty on July 22, 2024, prior to the 2024 State of the Nation Address.[20]
Independent candidate Luisa D. Fajardo, a lawyer specializing in tribal customary law who previously advocated for federalism, is also seeking the office.[27][28][29] Former mayor Marides Fernando was in talks for a mayoral run; she ultimately declined to launch a bid for the mayoralty.[30]

House of Representatives elections
editCoinciding with the local elections, two representatives from the city's two congressional districts will be elected to represent their respective districts in the House of Representatives in the 20th Congress. In the 2022 elections, Marjorie Ann Teodoro and Stella Quimbo were elected to represent the first and second districts respectively. Both representatives are in the majority bloc in the 19th Congress.
First district

| |||||||||||||
The first district covers the barangays of Barangka, Calumpang, Industrial Valley Complex, Jesus de la Peña, Malanday, San Roque, Santa Elena, Santo Niño, and Tañong. The incumbent representative is Marjorie Ann Teodoro, who has served since 2022 and was elected that year with 73.61% of the vote. Teodoro is eligible for reelection to a second term but will not seek reelection to run for mayor. Marcelino Teodoro, the outgoing mayor and husband of the incumbent representative, was slated to run for the seat under the National Unity Party, an affiliate of the national Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas.[34][35][36]
Senator Koko Pimentel, whom briefly entered in an alliance with the local administration, is challenging Teodoro for the seat.[37][38] Pimentel filed his certificate of candidacy for representative on October 6, 2024. He has panned Teodoro for having "no honor" and attributed the city's per capita debt to his administration.[39][40][41] Pimentel has made the revitalization of the local shoe industry and solving the city's flood issues as core messages of his campaign.[39]
Pimentel and three others filed a petition before the first division of the COMELEC to disqualify Teodoro from the contest, citing Section 78 of the Omnibus Election Code, which establishes material misrepresentation as a ground for disqualification.[42] On December 11, 2024, the COMELEC granted the petition, thereby cancelling Teodoro's candidacy.[43] Teodoro's camp criticized the ruling as an act of "political maneuvering" and filed a motion of reconsideration.[44] Teodoro's name will remain on the ballot until the COMELEC en banc rules on the case.[45]
