Local elections are scheduled to be held in Parañaque on May 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 Philippine general election. The electorate will elect a mayor, a vice mayor, sixteen members of the Parañaque City Council, and two district representatives to the House of Representatives of the Philippines. The officials elected will assume their respective offices on June 30, 2025, for a three-year term.
Team Bagong Parañaque, led by brothers incumbent Mayor Eric Olivarez and incumbent First District Representative Edwin Olivarez, dominated the 2022 Parañaque local elections. However, rumors started to circulate that similar to some of the other ruling political families in Metro Manila, the Olivarez family were also on the verge of splitting up over who should run for mayor between the two.[1] While the brothers eventually resolved their differences to run together under a reformed Team Bagong Parañaque ticket,[2] some of their relatives chose to break away from the family by either running directly against them, or joining rival political factions.[3]
Meanwhile, a mix of old and new political rivals are also independently vying unseat the incumbent Olivarezes and their allies.[4] [5] [6]
