Results of the election

Highly urbanized cities and independent component cities such as Angeles City, Cebu City, and Metro Manila with the municipality of Pateros are outside the jurisdiction of any province and thus won't elect for governors of their mother provinces (Pampanga and Cebu, for Angeles and Cebu City, respectively). These cities and Pateros would elect mayors instead.
