MANILA, Philippines – Mayor Benjie Magalong has secured his third and final term in Baguio City.

Magalong, 64, will have a fresh three-year mandate after receiving 55,497 votes, per the final tally of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), overcoming a formidable opponent in outgoing Congressman and mayoral candidate Mark Go.

Go reportedly conceded to Magalong as early as 10 p.m. on Monday night.
