Background

Mayor Sigfrido "Freddie" Tiñga was term-limited. He ran as representative of second district. His party chosen his father, retired Associate Justice and former Rep. Dante Tiñga to run in his place. Tiñga ran under Liberal Party and its Taguig affiliate, the local party Kilusang Diwa ng Taguig. Tiñga faced First District Rep. Ma. Laarni "Lani" Cayetano of Nacionalista, Arthur Clavo, and John Rarang.

Vice Mayor George Elias was on second term, and ran for third term. He was challenged by Ferdinand "Ferdie" Santos, Cayetano's running mate, Jeffrey Lontoc, and Cirila Lumontod.

First District Rep. Ma. Laarni "Lani" Cayetano was on her first term. Although eligible to run for a second term, she decided to run for mayor under Nacionalista instead. Her party chosen former Muntinlupa Councilor Rene Carl "Ren-Ren" Cayetano to run in her place. Cayetano was challenged by former Taguig Second District Councilor and defeated 2007 congressional candidate Arnel Cerafica, and independent candidates Luis Cruz Jr. and Joselito Gabriel.

Rep. Henry Dueñas Jr. won the 2007 elections. But following the HRET ruling in February 2010, he was unseated and replaced by his opponent, Angelito "Jett" Reyes. Upon ruling, Reyes was the duly elected representative of the district.
