2007 Elections
The 2007 general elections is said to be one of the most bitterly contested in the history of the municipality. Three groups contended for the post: that of incumbent PCSO Director Strike Revilla and his running-mate, Vice Mayoralty candidate Rosette Miranda-Fernando of the Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino - Lakas-CMD coalition; then sitting Vice Mayor Edwin Malvar and then sitting Councilor Gertrudes Ocampo of the Liberal Party; and Minerva Gomez-Castillo and then sitting Councilor Lorenzo Nolasco of the Nacionalista Party-Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino-Partido Magdalo-PDSP coalition. In a close battle, it was Revilla and Miranda who emerged as the victors in the two highest posts of the city, thus leading to Malvar filing an election protest and even led to insinuations that Revilla cheated his way to victory, with the help of his brother, Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla" Jr.
