Incumbent Vice Mayor Janella Ejercito is her party's nominee for the mayorship. She is the granddaughter of former President and incumbent Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada and the eldest daughter of former Senator Jinggoy Estrada; both are former Mayors of San Juan and former Senators as well. Her running mate is incumbent councilor Leonardo Celles, who served as Vice Mayor of San Juan from 2001 to 2010.
