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.

Zamboanga del Sur

Incumbent governor Antonio Cerilles is running for reelection. On January 15, 2013, the Commission on Elections disqualified Dominador Jalosjos, Jr. (Nacionalista) who was to run for governor and his brother, Romeo Jalosjos who is a candidate for mayor of Zamboanga City for violating the Local Government Code of 1991 which bars ex-convicts to run for office and run short of the required one-year residency in the place where a candidate can run. Thereby, Cerilles is running for reelection unopposed.
