Local elections was held in the Municipality of Makati on January 18, 1988, within the 1988 Philippine local election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the town: the mayor, vice mayor, and the 12-member local municipal council. This was the last election in which the elections for the national and local positions were not conducted simultaneously, as the national elections (including Makati's lone district were held almost a year prior, on May 11, 1987).

Background

PDP–Laban's candidate Jejomar Binay was first appointed as OIC Mayor of the Municipality of Makati by President Corazon Aquino on February 27, 1986, two days after the conclusion of the 1986 People Power Revolution which ended the 21-year rule of then president Ferdinand Marcos. Binay replaced the late former mayor Nemesio Yabut, who died on the same day as the conclusion of the 1986 revolution. Binay served as mayor until December 31, 1987, as President Aquino mandated all appointed local officials to resign should they desire to run for reelection or for other local positions in the upcoming January 1988 local election. Aquino then appointed Sergio Santos as the OIC Municipal Mayor of Makati, to replace Binay.

Binay's challengers for mayor include: Augusto "Boboy" Syjuco of the Nacionalista Party-Rodriguez Wing, Ricky Yabut of the Batang Makati Party (Ricky is the eldest son of the late former mayor Nemesio Yabut Sr.), former beauty queen Aurora Pijuan of the Liberal Party-Kalaw Wing, former senator Eddie Ilarde from the United Nationalist Democratic Organization, former Makati mayor Jose Luciano (Makati Citizens Party), businessman Relly Reyes of the Nacionalista Party-Laurel Wing, and independent candidate Carlos Torres.
