Local elections was held in the City of Manila on May 11, 1992, within the Philippine general elections after the passing of 1987 constitution and its transition period from 1988 to 1992. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the six congressmen, and the councilors, six in each of the city's six legislative districts.
Mel Lopez, the incumbent mayor from 1986 to 1987, got his term of own right in 1988.[1] Lopez will face NBI director and former Western Police District chief Alfredo Lim, former Mayor Ramon Bagatsing,[2] his 1988 running mate Danny Lacuna, who resigned as vice mayor before the election. Lacuna was replaced by Ernesto P. Maceda, Jr.[3][4] Lopez's past opponent Lito Atienza,[5] is now Lim's running-mate.
The tandem of Lim and Atienza won the elections.[6]
