Mercado announced that he is running for the mayorship of the city, while Binay decided to run for vice president as the running mate of former President Joseph Estrada of the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino party.

Atty. Erwin Genuino also ran for mayor as a candidate of Bigkis Pinoy Movement. He is the eldest son of PAGCOR Chairman Efraim C. Genuino. His running mate was actress Jobelle Salvador.

Congressional elections

There will be two candidates for the congressman or district representative post of each of the districts of Makati. The city is divided into two congressional districts: the first district and the second district.
