    On January 20, 2024, Binay stated in an interview on DWIZ-AM that she was "50 percent sure" that she would run for mayor of Makati upon the end of her term as senator.[2] She confirmed her bid for the mayoralty on September 9.[3] The incumbent mayor and Binay's sister Abigail is running for senator under the Nationalist People's Coalition.[4]
  2. Koko Pimentel (Nacionalista), running for House representative from Marikina's 1st district
    Pimentel was rumored to run for representative from Marikina's 1st congressional district against Miro Quimbo.[5] Pimentel did file to run on this district, but against incumbent mayor Marcelino Teodoro, husband of incumbent representative Marjorie Ann.[6]
  3. Grace Poe (Independent)
  4. Cynthia Villar (Nacionalista), running for House representative from Las Piñas's at-large district
    On July 31, 2024, Villlar expressed her interest in running for public office in Las Piñas, either as mayor or representative for the city's at-large district.[7][8] Villar was then later seen as running for Congress.[5] Villar then filed to run as representative,[9] while her daughter Camille, the incumbent House representative is running for senator.[10]
