1908 Manila's 1st Philippine Assembly district special elections

[1] Fernando Guerrero, who was earlier elected as counselors of the Nacionalistas along with Sergio Osmeña, and Lukban, were dropped from the ballot in favor of Dominador Gómez and Felipe del Mar.

[3] By February 1908, Osmeña and his adjutant, Manuel L. Quezon, saw Gómez as their primary opponent for control of the legislature.

This also made the motions for reconsideration, and for an investigation to an extra "mysterious vote" for Gómez's removal, be moot and academic.

[9] By June, Osmeña read a letter by Gómez to the assembly of the latter resigning his rights as duly elected representative of Manila's first district.

[11] While Lukban won the assembly seat, Gómez lost the municipal board election to Ramon Diokno.

A Manila Times editorial emphasized the victories of the Liga Popular Nacional against the regular Nacionalista Party; the latter was seen as being dominated by aristocrats, who are mostly mestizos.

The election results were announced at the junction of the Puente de España and Escolta Street in Binondo, on a screen set up in front of the La Extremeña Building.
