Local elections was held in the City of Manila on May 11, 1998, within the Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the six congressmen, and the councilors, six in each of the city's six legislative districts. With the resignation of Alfredo Lim to run for president, Vice Mayor Lito Atienza was seated as mayor, with former boxer-comedian and first councilor Larry Silva as the vice mayor. Atienza won the election after facing Third district congressman Jaime C. Lopez,[1] senator Ernesto Maceda,[2] and congressman Amado Bagatsing. Bagatsing's running-mate,[3] and 1992 mayoral candidate Danny Lacuna won the vice mayorship.[4] In this election also won the first term of actor and future mayor Isko Moreno.[5][6][7][8]
