MANILA, Philippines – Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano is poised for a second term after securing 415,706 votes on Monday, May 12.

These are based on the partial, unofficial results as of 11:44 pm, based on data sourced from the Commission on Elections Media Server, with 76.84% of precincts reporting.

A key challenge for Cayetano’s administration has been the smooth transition of governance in the Enlisted Men’s Barrios (EMBO), which were formerly part of Makati. This was marked by political bickering between Cayetano and Makati Mayor Abby Binay.

Just days before the elections, Taguig took control of the EMBO public facilities following a court order. Cayetano also reopened the health centers in the area.

Lani is the wife of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano. Taguig has been the bailiwick of the Cayetanos since the family patriarch, the late Rene Cayetano, started his political career as congressman of Taguig–Pateros–Muntinlupa. – Rappler.com
