Background

On October 7, 2015, current city mayor Oscar Malapitan announced that he will run again for mayor of Caloocan City under the "Tao Ang Una" (People First) party. Originally, Tao ang Una was Malapitan's campaign slogan during the 2013 elections, but he formed his own political party that has approved by the COMELEC on September 18. Malapitan represented and chaired the city's United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) chapter.^[1]

Tao Ang Una party was composed of city-based politicians affiliated with the Liberal Party (LP), Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) and UNA. Among them was LP Vice Chairman for Political Affairs and District 2 Representative Edgar Erice and Vice Mayor Macario Asistio III.

Malapitan, will seek a reelection in the elections, up against former city mayor and District 1 Representative Recom Echiverri, who will run under the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC). Both, Malapitan and Echiverri will also face-to-face with Macario "Boy" Asistio III, who served as the city mayor of Caloocan for 14 years.^[2]
