Background Incumbent Makati mayor Maximo Estrella is running for his second term, having been first elected in 1955. Estrella is a staunch candidate of the Liberal Party. He selected incumbent vice-mayor Juan Patag as his running mate. His challenger for mayor was former Makati mayor Jose D. Villena of the Nacionalista Party. The Makati Nacionalistas coalesced with the Makati Citizens League for Good Government (MCLGG) to field candidates against Estrella's Liberals. It is the second time that Estrella and Villena contended for the position, having battled in 1955, in which Estrella defeated then-incumbent Villena. At the time, Philippine politics was under the Two-party system, dominated by the Liberals and Nacionalistas. Candidates Liberal Party Name Party For Mayor Maximo B.
