Local elections were held in Pateros on May 13, 2013, as part of the 2013 Philippine general election. The voters elected local elective posts in the municipality: the mayor, vice mayor, the district representative of Taguig-Pateros, and six councilors in each of the municipality's two districts.
Background
After the 2010 elections, in which a big margin re-elected the incumbent mayor Jaime "Joey" Medina, he ran for re-election for a third and final term in 2013. His opponent was Miguel "Ike" Ponce III.[1]
Incumbent vice mayor Jose Jonathan "Jojo" Sanchez although eligible for a third term, chose to run for councilor of the 2nd district instead. His party chose Ernesto Cortez, a councilor from the 2nd district. Cortez challenged Gerald German, a councilor from the 1st district and Jing Tuazon, an independent candidate.
In the congressional election, incumbent Taguig-Pateros representative Arnel Cerafica ran for reelection for a second term. He challenged Gigi De Mesa, a councilor from Taguig's 1st district.
Results
For Mayor
Mayor Jaime "Joey" Medina narrowly defeated Miguel "Ike" Ponce III for a third and final term by 602 votes.[2]
