Background
See also: 2019 Marikina local elections, COVID-19 pandemic in Metro Manila § Marikina, and Typhoon Vamco

In the 2019 elections, Marcelino Teodoro was re-elected to a second term as mayor without any opposition. His running mate, Marion Andres was also elected to his first term as vice mayor under Teodoro after defeating two other candidates.[5][6][7]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Teodoro's government was lauded for its response, particularly for the establishment of a testing facility for health workers and suspected patients.[8]

During the passage of Typhoon Ulysses in November 2020, the Marikina River surpassed the water levels brought by Tropical Storm Ondoy in 2009 resulting in flooding throughout the city.[9] As a result of the floods and losses, Teodoro declared a state of calamity in the city.[9]

Later that year, Teodoro submitted a complaint to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, of which was against BFCT, a construction firm owned by the family of Bayani Fernando. Teodoro claimed that the flooding resulting from the passage of Typhoon Ulysses was a result of the land reclamation project along the Marikina river by the construction firm. Fernando stated that Teodoro's claims were false and claimed that the narrowing of the river and the construction of the Manalo Bridge were the cause of the flooding.[10] The DENR ultimately approved Teodoro's request to remove the reclaimed land.[10]

Fernando filed his certificate of candidacy on October 5, 2021, with Teodoro filing his later that day.[11] Should Teodoro be re-elected to a third term, he would be term-limited and be ineligible to seek reelection in the next elections.
