Local elections will take place in Pasig on Monday, May 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 Philippine general election. The electorate will elect a mayor, a vice mayor, twelve members of the Pasig City Council, and one representative to the House of Representatives of the Philippines. The officials elected in the election will assume their respective offices on June 30, 2025, for a three-year-long term.
Background
Several graft cases have been filed against incumbent mayor Vico Sotto, the first ones he has faced in his political career, which he believes are politically motivated.[1] The cases stem from allegedly distributing shirts instead of cash allowances to city hall employees,[2] and for allegedly giving an illegal tax discount to telco company Converge ICT.[3] In addition, a petition for a temporary restraining order has also been filed against the implementation of Mayor Sotto's flagship project, the ₱9.6 Billion reconstruction of the Pasig City Hall Complex.[4]
Mayor Sotto has also criticized a concert held by the St. Gerrard Construction Charity Foundation, led by Curlee Discaya and his wife Sarah, for not securing permits from city hall, which were countered by the foundation's insistence that it was held within the private Arcovia City estate.[5] The aforementioned couple's St. Gerrard Construction and Development Corporation have previously had their projects in Barangay Bambang suspended by Mayor Sotto for lack of building permits and violating the terms of one of their approved permits.[6]
Meanwhile, the Discayas, former city councilor Mario Concepcion Jr., and former Bambang barangay captain Reynaldo Samson Jr. have joined the ruling Partido Federal ng Pilipinas in anticipation of a 2025 run.[7] The party has regarded Sarah Discaya, through her charity work in the city, as a "winnable mayoral candidate".
