Local elections were held at Marikina on May 13, 2019, 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, 2019, for a three-year-long term.[2][3][4][5]
Marcelino Teodoro and Marion Andres were elected to the mayoralty and vice mayoralty respectively, with the Teodoro being re-elected to his second term and Andres being elected back to the office for a fourth nonconsecutive term. Team MarCy, a coalition between the Nationalist People's Coalition and PDP–Laban won an outright majority in the city council, winning ten seats in the council.
Bayani Fernando and Stella Quimbo were elected to represent the first and second districts in the 18th Congress, with the former being re-elected for his second term and the latter being elected for her first. Both representatives joined the minority bloc.
Background
[edit]In the 2016 Elections, Marcelino Teodoro was elected to the mayoralty, defeating then-incumbent mayor Del de Guzman who was first elected in 2010. On the other hand, Jose Fabian Cadiz, De Guzman's vice mayor was re-elected to a third term, defeating former mayor Marion Andres.
Teodoro is running for re-election for a second term with Marion Andres once again being his running mate. Incumbent councilor Eva Aguirre-Paz and Vic Tambuli Sambinano are also running for the vice mayoralty, with the latter substituting for Arnolfo Almocera who later opted to run for a seat in the City Council instead.
Lorderito Nebres and Richard Estanislao of PDP–Laban ran for the mayoralty and vice mayoralty respectively, but both withdrew their respective candidacies in February.

Aftermath
[edit]Eugene de Vera filed a quo warranto petition against Stella Quimbo, who was elected as the representative for the second district.[7] De Vera claimed that Quimbo was ineligible for the position, citing Section 8 of Republic Act No. 10667 or the Philippine Competition Act, which prohibited former commissioners of the Philippine Competition Commission to run for public office during their tenure and the two-year period following their exit from the office.[8] De Vera also claimed that Quimbo did not disclose her former commissionership by stating that she was a teacher in her certificate of candidacy.[9] Beng Sardillo, Quimbo's legal counsel, had derided as de Vera's interpretation of the act as "patently self-serving, erroneous, and has no legal basis".[10]
