| | Independent wrests Berwyn from Democrats' control |
 | | Candidates running on O'Connor's Independent Voters of Berwyn slate won all but two of the remaining 10 city offices and all six Berwyn Township slots. | | | But most of the focus of the race was on Woodward, 53, and O'Connor, 49, the only two mayoral hopefuls to field full slates of candidates for all the city offices on the ballot -- Woodward under the Democratic Party and O'Connor under the Independent Voters of Berwyn banner. | | | With a federal investigation looming in the background, Berwyn's Regular Democrats lost their 36-year grip on power Tuesday as a former loyalist turned independent steamrolled the retiring mayor's hand-picked successor. |

| | The official also explained that as an independent component city, Tarlac City voters are prohibited from voting for provincial elective officials. | | | “Tarlac City was already qualified to become an independent component city way back in 1998, but it was met with strong opposition mainly from Yap who was even expected to support the move,” the official said. | | | “Once this city is considered highly urbanized, it can be considered a lone congressional district and therefore have its own representative in Congress,” Ibarra said. |
