Vice mayor
For the vice mayoral race, incumbent vice mayor Luis Bonguyan of Lakas–NUCD–UMDP faced former city administrator Benjamin de Guzman of Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino. With Duterte's political group divided between Bonguyan and de Guzman—who were both closely identified with Duterte—de Guzman won the election over Bonguyan.
