The local elections of Valencia City was held on May 13, 2013 in conjunction with the Philippine general election. The voters elected several local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, and ten members of the sangguniang panlungsod. Each official is elected publicly to a 3-year term and can be re-elected up to 3 terms in succession.

In 2013, the city has 120,411 registered voters with a 24.25% increase from the 2010 statistics of 96,913 registered voters. Since Valencia City is a component city and is still in the jurisdiction of the Province of Bukidnon, its registered voters still need to vote for the provincial posts: the governor, vice-governor, one congressman, and two members of the sangguniang panlalawigan. Also in this elections, since Valencia is redistricted from the third to the newly created fourth legislative district of Bukidnon, its registered voters will now have to vote for a district representative coming from the latter instead of the former.

Catarata was the incumbent on his second term and ran for a third term under the banner of Bukidnon Paglaum Party of the Zubiris who had forged an alliance with the Liberal Party. Jose M.
