Note

Mayor Wenceslao "Peewee" Trinidad was elected as Mayor following the 2000 Pasay mayoral recall election, replacing then-Mayor Jovito Claudio. Trinidad started his first full term as mayor in 2001, and was re-elected in 2004. In 2006, Trinidad, Vice Mayor Antonino Calixto, and nine out of twelve city councilors were put into a six-month preventive suspension due to anomalous garbage collection contracts in 2004 and 2005.[6] Then-Councilor Allan Panaligan served as acting Mayor for six months until the suspension order was lifted in February 2007. According to 1987 Constitution, all elective government officials (except the President and Vice President) can serve for three consecutive full term. Trinidad's supposedly third consecutive term will end in 2010, but due to the suspension, the former's consecutive term was cut, therefore he can run again for another consecutive term thrice.
