Results of the election

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.

Zamboanga del Sur

Incumbent governor Antonio Cerilles is running for reelection. On January 15, 2013, the Commission on Elections disqualified Dominador Jalosjos, Jr. (Nacionalista) who was to run for governor and his brother, Romeo Jalosjos who is a candidate for mayor of Zamboanga City for violating the Local Government Code of 1991 which bars ex-convicts to run for office and run short of the required one-year residency in the place where a candidate can run. Thereby, Cerilles is running for reelection unopposed.
