Local elections will be held in Iligan City on May 9, 2016 as part of the Philippine general election. The resident voters will elect for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the one congressman, and twelve councilors.
At the end of filing of certificates of candidacy (COC) last October 16, 2015, a total of 77 hopefuls have filed their COC for city's 15 elective positions: 10 are running for congressman, 5 for mayor, 2 for vice-mayor, and 60 for city councilors.[1]
Candidates for Lone District Representative
Vicente Belmonte, Jr. (LP) is the incumbent. However, he is already on his last term and ineligible for reelection. Instead, he decided to run for mayor. However, he later dropped his candidacy.[2]
Three candidates from the ruling party are vying for the lone congressional seat; they are acting mayor Ruderic Marzo, former mayor Lawrence Lluch-Cruz and current councilor Frederick Siao. At the end, Cruz luckily received the certificate of nomination and acceptance (CONA) from Liberal Party.[3] Later, Ruderic Marzo withdrew his candidacy for congressman.
Candidates for Mayor
Suspended mayor Celso Regencia (NPC) is the incumbent. Vice Mayor Ruderic Marzo (LP) serves as the acting mayor.[4]
On November 16, 2015, Vicente Belmonte Jr. withdrew his candidacy for mayor citing security reasons.[2] He later named incumbent vice-mayor Ruderic Marzo (LP) as his substitute, who filed his certificate candidacy on December 7, 2015.[5]
