Local elections was held in the Municipality of Makati on November 12, 1963, within the 1963 Philippine local elections, during the administration of President Diosdado Macapagal. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the town: the mayor, vice mayor, and the eight-member local municipal council. The municipality of Makati was then under the jurisdiction of the 1st congressional district of the Province of Rizal. The elections for the district representatives were held in 1961.
Background
Incumbent Makati mayor Maximo Estrella is running for his third term, having been first elected in 1955 and reelected in 1959. 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. A third party, the Makati Citizens League for Good Government (MCLGG), broke ranks with the Nacionalistas and fielded their own candidates for councilors. It is the third time that Estrella and Villena contended for the position, having battled in 1955 and 1959. At the time, Philippine politics was under the Two-party system, dominated by the Liberals and Nacionalistas.
