However, the Liberal Party led by provincial chair Panlilio failed to complete their party line up. They have no congressional wannabes in 1st district, 2nd district and 4th district. They have no complete line up for board members, mayors, vice mayors and councilors.

All the incumbent Pampanga mayors were all Lakas-Kampi-CMD members and allies except for City of San Fernando Mayor Oscar Rodriguez.

Bangon Pilipinas has two candidates for board members (Tuazon and Amurao) while the NPC has filled up two candidates for congress in the 1st and 4th district while the Nationalist Party has one candidate for Congress (Bondoc) and one for board member (Tolentino).
