Local elections were held in Marikina on May 9, 2022, as part of the Philippine general election. Held concurrently with the national elections, the electorate voted to elect a mayor, a vice mayor, sixteen city council members, and two district representatives to congress. Those elected took their respective offices on June 30, 2022, for a three-year-long term.

Incumbents Marcelino Teodoro and Marion Andres were reelected to the mayoralty and the vice mayoralty respectively, both winning with wide margins against their closest opponents, former mayor and incumbent representative Bayani Fernando, and Tumana barangay captain Ziffred Ancheta, respectively. The United Nationalist Alliance under Team MarCy won 14 seats in the city council, while the primary opposition coalition, Team BF failed to win any seats. The only other party to win a seat in the city council was the Liberal Party, which won two seats.

Maan Teodoro and Stella Quimbo were elected as the representatives for the first and second districts respectively, with the former being elected for her first term and the latter being reelected for her second. Teodoro's election and Quimbo's reelection marked the first time both Marikina seats were held by women.

In the 2019 elections, Marcelino Teodoro was reelected to a second term as mayor without any opposition. His running mate, Marion Andres, was elected to his first term as vice mayor under Teodoro after defeating two other candidates.[2][3][4]

During the passage of Typhoon Ulysses in November 2020, the Marikina River surpassed the water levels brought by Tropical Storm Ondoy in 2009, resulting in flooding throughout the city.[5] As a result of the floods and losses, Teodoro declared a state of calamity in the city.[5]

Later that year, Teodoro submitted a complaint to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources against BFCT, a construction firm owned by the family of Bayani Fernando. Teodoro claimed that the flooding caused by the passage of Typhoon Ulysses was a result of the construction firm's land reclamation project along the Marikina river. Fernando denied Teodoro's claims, commenting that the flooding was the result of the narrowing of the river and the construction of the Manalo Bridge.[6] The department would ultimately approve Teodoro's request to remove the reclaimed land, culminating in his ouster from the Nationalist People's Coalition.[6] Teodoro and his allies would later migrate to the United Nationalist Alliance.[7]

Campaign

The campaign period for local elections started on March 25, 2022.[8] During the campaign period, the candidates and coalitions held motorcades, rallies and house-to-house campaigns.[9][10][11]

Platforms

Marcelino Teodoro's platform focused on the city's recovery from the COVD-19 pandemic. It sought to improve the public healthcare infrastructure, conduct a safe return to in-person classes, and to continue the welfare programs enacted by his administration. Teodoro also aimed to unite the city amid the pandemic.[12] Marion Andres, his running mate, expressed his plans of establishing a "physical health center", if reelected.[13]

Bayani Fernando, Teodoro's opponent promised to solve the city's flooding problems, improve the city's infrastructure, and continue the policies he had enacted in his previous tenures as mayor and as MMDA chairman.[14] In an interview with OneNewsPH, Fernando expressed regret in endorsing Teodoro in earlier races, calling it a mistake.[15]

Coalitions

As the mayor, vice mayor and the members of the city council are elected on the same ballot, mayoral candidates may present or endorse a slate of city council candidates. These slates usually run with their respective mayoral and Vice mayoral candidates along with the other members of their slate. A group of candidates independent of any mayoral or vice mayoral candidate may also form a slate consisting of themselves. Underlined candidates indicate incumbents seeking reelection.

Mayoral election

The incumbent mayor was Marcelino Teodoro, who was reelected in 2019 without any opposition. Teodoro ran for reelection for a third term as mayor.

Teodoro's sole opponent was incumbent representative Bayani Fernando, who previously held the seat from 1992 to 2001.[20] Fernando and Teodoro were generally viewed as allies, with Fernando's endorsement of Teodoro in the 2016 mayoral race being noted as a factor of the latter's election to the mayoralty.[21] The alliance between the two soured following the onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses, with media outlets such as The Manila Times describing the race as a "bitter rivalry".[22] Both candidates filed their certificates of candidacy on October 5, 2021.[23]

The first district covers the barangays of Barangka, Calumpang, Industrial Valley Complex, Jesus de la Peña, Malanday, San Roque, Santa Elena, Santo Niño and Tañong. The incumbent representative was Bayani Fernando, who was reelected in 2019 with 80.46% of the vote. Fernando is eligible for reelection but has opted to run for mayor, rather than a third term as a representative.[54]

Fernando's party, the Nationalist People's Coalition nominated former vice mayor Jose Fabian Cadiz in his place. Cadiz had previously run for the seat in 2019 but eventually withdrew. On the other hand, the United Nationalist Alliance under Team MarCy nominated the first lady of Marikina, Marjorie Ann Teodoro to challenge Cadiz for the seat. Three months before the election, Cadiz died from cardiac arrest. As a result, his party named his nephew, Jose Miguel Cadiz, as their substitute candidate.[17][9]
