2019 Albay local elections
# 2019 Albay local elections

Albay local elections were held on May 13, 2019, as part of the 2019 Philippine general election. Voters selected their candidates of choice for all local positions: municipal or city mayor, vice mayor and councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the vice-governor, governor and representatives for the three districts of Albay in the House of Representatives. These elections were held following the first-past-the-post voting system, in which the candidate with the highest number (but not necessarily a majority) of votes is elected.

## Gubernatorial and Vice Gubernatorial election

As with other provinces in the Philippines, the governor, and vice governor of Albay are elected separately. Therefore, they may be of different parties when elected.

### Governor

One-term consecutive, four-term non-consecutive incumbent Governor Al Francis Bichara ran for reelection. Bichara's opponents included broadcast journalist Hermogenes Alegre Jr., self-claimed general Galma Arcilla, Vice Governor Harold Imperial, and retired COMELEC Bicol Regional Director Zacarias Zaragoza. The three perennial candidates who faced Bichara in 2016, Paul Aguilar, Mario Baquil, and Jaime Hernandez, Jr., also ran again.

Bichara won reelection to a second consecutive, fifth non-consecutive term.

**Daraga**

Three-term consecutive, five-term nonconsecutive Mayor Gerry Jaucian died on May 4, 2018. Then Vice Mayor Carlwyn Baldo ascended to this office. Baldo is seeking a full term in this position. He sought this office in 2010 and 2013, losing both times to Jaucian. He won as Vice Mayor in a fractured field in 2016, defeating the then, two-term consecutive, five-term nonconsecutive incumbent vice mayor. He is facing off with three-term Ako Bicol Representative Rodel Batocabe and elevated Vice Mayor Victor Perete.

On December 22, 2018, Batocabe was attending a gift-giving event for senior citizens and persons with disabilities in the rural barangay of Burgos of the municipality when two men approached and shot him. His police escort, Senior Police Officer 2 Orlando Diaz, was also killed, while seven elderly attendees were also wounded in the attack. Batocabe and Diaz were taken to a hospital in Legazpi City, where both were pronounced dead.

On January 3, 2019, Philippine National Police Director General Oscar Albayalde announced in a press conference that Mayor Carlwyn Baldo is the suspected mastermind for the murder of Representative Batocabe. According to the police, Baldo hired six men to kill Batocabe and set up $95,000 in funds to pay for the murder. The plot had allegedly been in the works since August 2018, when Baldo supplied $4,600 to one of the hitmen to purchase guns and motorcycles. Mayor Carlwyn Baldo denied the allegations in a statement read over the phone to local radio stations, calling himself " a convenient scapegoat."

On January 6, 2019, Lakas–CMD said that it has revoked its Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance (CONA) for Baldo. Batocabe's party, the National Unity Party named his widow, Gertrudes, as his substitute. However, Representative Batocabe's name is going to remain on the ballot.

On May 6, 2019, the Legazpi City Regional Trial Court ordered the arrest of Baldo for the murder of Batocabe and his police escort. While the police said that Baldo has sent word that he would immediately surrender when he is served arrest warrants, he was declared by the police as a "wanted person" after failure to serve his warrant of arrest two days after its issuance. Baldo surrendered on May 10, 2019, four days after the court issued the warrant for his arrest.
