Local elections were held in Makati on May 13, 2019, within the Philippine general election. The voters will elect for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the two Congressmen, and the eight councilors, eight in each of the city's two legislative districts.

Background

Incumbent mayor Abigail Binay assumed as Mayor after winning in the 2016 elections. Binay ran after the Office of the Ombudsman dismissed her brother, former Mayor Junjun Binay due to the alleged overpricing of Makati City Hall Building II. She is running for reelection under the United Nationalist Alliance. Her main opponent is her brother, former mayor Junjun.[1] The former mayor claims that he has a deal with her sister, that Mayor Abby will serve for just one term as Mayor. The Ombudsman dismissed Binay due to the Makati City Hall Building II parking lot fiasco and was perpetually disqualified from holding any public office. However, the Commission on Elections reiterates that Binay can still run for Mayor, because the ruling is not yet final and executory.[2] The former mayor has the support of majority of councilors and Barangay Captains in Makati. In an interview on 24 Oras, he will withdraw his candidacy for Mayor if his father, former Vice President Jejomar Binay will run for Mayor.

Campaign

On April 27, 2019, siblings and mayoral rivals Abigail Binay and Junjun Binay had a heated public exchange during a pre-election forum hosted by the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) at the San Ildefonso Parish in Barangay Pio del Pilar, gaining widespread attention. The conflict began when Junjun accused the police and security of a local official of "escorting the number one drug lord of Makati," leading to a confrontation with Abigail. Their father, former Vice President and 1st district congressional candidate Jejomar Binay, and Makati City Police Station chief Pablo Simon had to intervene to ease the tension.[3] The PPCRV criticized the incident, with its vice chairman Johnny Cardenas stating that the confrontation was a "scene" that lacked respect for the church. He added that the siblings were asked beforehand to refrain from personal attacks and to focus on their platforms.[4] The Binay siblings and their sister, Senator Nancy Binay, later apologized for the incident.[5]

The family feud also became a public matter when Senator Nancy Binay claimed her siblings' rift was due to Abigail's husband, 2nd district Representative Luis Campos. She claimed that the Campos couple stopped talking to the Binay family and had been skipping weekly family lunches since 2016. Furthermore, she backed her brother's mayoral bid, stating that Abigail had failed to deliver the services that made their father famous as mayor.[6] In a direct response, Abby called Nancy and Junjun "mean" for attacking her husband Luis.[7]
