He selected incumbent vice mayor Deogracias Luciano as his running mate. Both defected to the newly-formed Liberal Party. His challenger for mayor was former mayor Jose D. Villena, the Nacionalista Party candidate. He was Makati mayor from 1934 to 1944. His vice-mayoral running mate was incumbent councilor Tomas A. Baluyut. This was the second time that Villena and Cortes have competed for the mayoral post, having met in 1940, which Villena won. At the time, Philippine politics was under the Two-party system, dominated by the Liberals and Nacionalistas. Candidates Liberal Party Name Party For Mayor Pablo C.
