Local elections were held in Las Piñas on May 10, 2010, within the Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, one representative, and the councilors, six in each of the city's two legislative districts.

Background

Mayor Vergel "Nene" Aguilar ran for re-election for fourth non-consecutive term. His opponents were Felix Sinajon, Antonio "Doc" Abellar Jr., and Liberato "Levis" Gabano.

Vice Mayor Henry Medina was on his first term, though eligible to run for second term, he ran as councilor instead. His party nominated former Vice Mayor Luis "Louie" Bustamante. Bustamante was challenged by Teodoro "Baldo" Baldomaro, former Councilor Benjamin Gonzales, and Estelita "Ester" Salentes.

Representative Cynthia Villar was term-limited, and she ran for Senate. Her party nominated her son, Mark Villar. Villar was challenged by Filipino "Filip" Alvarado, Francisco "Kiko" Antonio Jr., and Zusarah "Zarah" Veloria.
