Highly urbanized cities and independent component cities such as Baguio, Cebu City and Davao City and Metro Manila with the municipality of Pateros are outside the jurisdiction of any province and thus do not run elections for governors of their mother provinces (Benguet, Cebu and Davao del Sur respectively). These cities and Pateros elect mayors instead.

Governor Roel Degamo is going up against vice governor Edward Mark Macias and Bayawan mayor Pryde Henry Teves.^[39] Degamo was allowed by the COMELEC to seek re-election despite completing three consecutive terms.

On December 16, 2021, the Commission on Elections (Second Division), through a resolution, declared Grego Gaudia as a nuisance candidate and cancelled his candidacy, citing that he used the name "Ruel Degamo", which later appeared in the ballots, to confuse the voters. He later filed a motion for reconsideration, allowing him to run; but it was denied by the COMELEC en banc on September 1, 2022.^[43] With the commission finalizing its decision on Gaudia and crediting his votes to Degamo, on October 3, Degamo was proclaimed as the elected candidate.^[44][45]

On January 18, the Commission on Elections (First Division) granted two petitions for the cancellation of the certificate of candidacy of Mangudadatu, citing "material misrepresentation".
