Summary

Abra

In the province of Abra, once an election hot spot, governor Eustaquio Bersamin has called on candidates to strictly adhere to the manifesto they signed and respect the rule of law. Incumbent representative Cecilia Seares-Luna has three opponents: Ma. Zita Valera, the wife of detained former Gov. Vicente Valera; Joy Bernos-Valera, Bangued mayor Dominic Valera's daughter, and former ranking official of the Cordillera People's Liberation Army (CPLA) Mailed Molina. Abra police managed to facilitate an "agreement" in which politicians will not field candidates against one another, although it was not followed as politicians started to jockey for positions.

As a result of the tension in the province, the Commission on Elections has placed the province under its watch list.

The result of the election is under protest in the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal.

Apayao

Incumbent Elias Bulut, Jr. is on his third consecutive term already and is ineligible for election. He will run for the provincial governorship and his fellow Bulut family member Eleanor Begtang will run as his party's nominee.

Baguio

Incumbent Mauricio Domogan of Lakas-Kampi-CMD is in his third consecutive term and thus ineligible for reelection. Former Baguio mayor and Nationalist People's Coalition regional chair Bernardo Vergara is the party's nominee for the city's Congressional seat, although Vergara is also nominated by Lakas-Kampi-CMD.

Benguet

Incumbent Samuel Dangwa is on his third consecutive term already and is ineligible for election. He will run for the provincial governorship.

Incumbent Solomon Chungalao of Lakas Kampi CMD is in his third consecutive term already and is barred from seeking reelection; he is running for the provincial governorship as his party nominated Nelson Allaga in his place.
