Local elections were held in Makati on May 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 Philippine general election. The electorate elected a mayor, a vice mayor, and the sixteen councilors, eight per district, that would be members of the Makati City Council, and two district representatives to the House of Representatives of the Philippines.

This was the first elections in which the residents of the Embo barangays did not participate as a result of the Makati–Taguig boundary dispute ruling.[1]

Background

The hotly contested 2019 local elections between Mayor Abigail Binay and her brother, former mayor Junjun Binay, has caused the deterioration of relations between the incumbent mayor's family and the rest of her siblings.[2][3] Mayor Abigail Binay and her administration easily won reelection in 2022 without opposition from her siblings.

On April 3, 2023, the Supreme Court of the Philippines denied the motion of reconsideration filed by Makati to override its earlier ruling that upheld the 2011 Pasig Regional Trial Court ruling that recognized Taguig's jurisdiction over the ten Embo barangays, resulting in Makati formally ceding control of the barangays to Taguig.[4] The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) began the administrative transfer of the 212,613 Embo voters and electoral precincts from Makati to Taguig in August 2023, ahead of the 2023 Philippine barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (BSKE) elections, where Embo residents voted as residents of Taguig for the first time.[5][6]

The transfer of the Embo barangays also put into question the continued existence of Makati's 2nd congressional district, which had three remaining barangays that do not meet the constitutional requirement of at least 250,000 residents per congressional district. However, COMELEC Chairman George Garcia has assured that the three remaining barangays could still elect a representative, pending legislation that will redistrict the affected area between the two cities.[7] In September 2024, the 10 former Makati barangays of the second district were formally redistributed to the two legislative and city council districts of Taguig by the COMELEC, effectively leaving the district with three remaining barangays.[8]
