Incumbent Carmencita Reyes switched to the Liberal Party from Lakas-Kampi-CMD and is running for the provincial governorship; her son Edmundo is her party's nominee for the district's seat.
The result of the election is under protest in the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET).[1] The HRET dismissed Reyes' petition, and even padded Velasco's winning margin by an additional 39 votes. The tribunal resolved that there were no election irregularities.[2]
