There are father and son or daughter and husband and wife in the province running for different posts. The heads of the family are either seeking reelections or gunning for a different position after completing three consecutive terms.
League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP) president and Binalonan Mayor Ramon Guico Jr., who is seeking reelection, and his son, vice mayoralty candidate Ramon III, are unopposed.
In San Carlos City, Mayor Julian Resuello, who is on his third and last term, and his vice mayor son Julier are eyeing to swap positions.
