Local elections were held in Manila on May 10, 2004, within the Philippine general election. The voters elected the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the six Congressmen, and the councilors, six in each of the city's six legislative districts.[1]

Incumbent Mayor Lito Atienza of Liberal forged an alliance with Don Ramon Bagatsing, who is the leader of Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) Manila chapter.[1] The tandem faced former 1988 opponent Mel Lopez and incumbent Vice Mayor Danny Lacuna.
