Gubernatorial elections were held in the Philippines on May 13, 2013. All provinces elected their provincial governors for three-year terms who will be inaugurated on June 30, 2013, after their proclamation. Governors that are currently serving their third consecutive terms are prohibited from running as governors (they may run in any other position).
Highly urbanized cities and independent component cities such as Angeles City, Cebu City, and Metro Manila with the municipality of Pateros are outside the jurisdiction of any province and thus won't elect for governors of their mother provinces (Pampanga and Cebu, for Angeles and Cebu City, respectively). These cities and Pateros would elect mayors instead.
