Local elections was held in the City of Makati on May 11, 1998, within the Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the two congressmen, and the councilors, eight in each of the city's two legislative districts.
Background
Incumbent mayor and PDP–Laban stalwart Jejomar Binay was term-limited and appointed as MMDA chairman. His wife, Dra. Elenita Binay, ran in his place. She selected 2nd district councilor Ernesto Mercado as her running-mate.[1]
Binay's challengers were former city engineer Nelson Irasga of Liberal Party,[2] incumbent vice mayor Arturo "Toro" Yabut of Lakas–NUCD,[3] a member of the family who previously allied with the Binays,[4] former acting mayor Cesar Alzona and 1984 assembly candidate Alexander Villalon.
For the vice-mayoralty, Mercado faced actor Edu Manzano and Councilor Bong Daza.
Iglesia ni Cristo endorsed Binay and Mercado.[5]
Citizenship of Manzano
Even Edu Manzano won the vice mayoral race, closest rival Ernesto Mercado filed a disqualification case against Manzano's dual citizenship, as Manzano is a citizen of the Philippines by blood and of the United States by birth. To prove his loyalty to the Philippines, Manzano tore his American passport at a press conference. Later, the Supreme Court dismissed the case.[6] In 2019, while campaigning for congressman for San Juan, Metro Manila, Manzano faced another case the same as 1998.[7]
