Local plebiscites

Aside from the general election, local plebiscites were also held on this day. One was for the division of the province of Samar into three provinces, namely Eastern Samar, Northern Samar and Western Samar (renamed in 1969 as "Samar"). Six were for conversion of municipalities into cities, with two being renamed as well. All were carried, except for the cityhood of Batangas and renaming it to "Laurel City".

Location	Plebiscite question	For	Against	Total	Total	%
Samar	[Division of Samar to three provinces](1965-samar-division-plebiscite)	135,259	89.42%	16,002	10.58%	151,261
La Carlota, Negros Occidental	Cityhood of La Carlota	5,622	73.96%	1,979	26.04%	7,601
Bago, Negros Occidental	Cityhood of Bago	8,002	82.38%	1,711	17.62%	9,713
Laoag, Ilocos Norte	Cityhood of Laoag	7,831	50.92%	7,549	49.08%	15,380
San Carlos, Pangasinan	Cityhood of San Carlos	8,941	66.26%	4,552	33.74%	13,493
General Santos, Cotabato	Cityhood and renaming to "Rajah Buayan"	4,422	59.05%	3,066	40.95%	7,488
Batangas, Batangas	Cityhood and renaming to "Laurel City"	9,901	41.35%	14,044	58.65%	23,945

In Leyva vs. COMELEC, the Supreme Court reversed COMELEC's proclamation of the cityhood of Rajah Buayan being approved, as it ruled that its implementing law decreed that the majority of the votes must be taken into account all of the registered voters, and not just those who voted. As the votes for cityhood were less than the majority of all voters, the Rajah Buayan's cityhood was nullified, and it reverted back as the municipality of General Santos.
