Highly urbanized cities and independent component cities such as Angeles, Bacolod City, Baguio City, Cagayan de Oro City, Cebu City, Davao City, Iloilo City and Metro Manila with the municipality of Pateros are outside the jurisdiction of any province and thus won't run elections for governors of their mother provinces (Pampanga, Negros Occidental, Benguet, Misamis Oriental, Cebu, Davao del Sur and Iloilo for Angeles, Bacolod City, Baguio City, Cagayan de Oro City, Cebu City, Davao City and Iloilo City respectively). These cities and Pateros would elect mayors instead.
