2016 Philippine gubernatorial elections


The 2016 Philippine Gubernatorial elections were held in the Philippines on May 9, 2016. All provinces elected their provincial governors for three-year terms, who will be inaugurated on June 30, 2016 after their proclamation. Governors that are currently serving their third consecutive terms are prohibited from running as governors.
Highly urbanized cities and independent component cities such as Angeles, Bacolod, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro City, Cebu City, Davao City, Iloilo City and Metro Manila with the municipality of Pateros are outside the jurisdiction of any province and thus won't run elections for governors of their mother provinces. These cities and Pateros would elect mayors instead.
Davao Occidental held its first gubernatorial election on this day.
