Elections were held in Central Luzon for seats in the House of Representatives of the Philippines on May 10, 2010.
The candidate with the most number of votes won that district's seat for the 15th Congress of the Philippines.
*Total invalid votes and turnout not available for 1st district of Bulacan.
Juan Edgardo Angara is the incumbent.
Herminia Roman is the incumbent. At first, a minor issue erupted as to who would be the official candidate of Lakas-Kampi-CMD in the district: Roman or the governor's daughter, Maria Angela "Gila" Garcia. Based on the certificate of nomination submitted by both parties, it turned out that Governor Garcia, the provincial Lakas-Kampi chairman, nominated his daughter, while the coalition's central committee named Roman. In an en banc decision however, the Comelec later ruled that Roman is the official Lakas-Kampi-CMD candidate, making Garcia the independent one.
The result of the election is under protest in the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal.
Albert Garcia is the incumbent.
Malolos was given its own congressional seat from Bulacan's 1st district by virtue of Republic Act 9591. However, the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional, saying it violated Article VI Section 5 (3) of the Constitution and Section 3 of the Ordinance attached to constitution; Malolos was ruled not to have exceeded the 250,000 population for a separate legislative district.
In Bulacan, members of the same families will run against each other. Former governor Josie dela Cruz established the Del Pilar party (named after Gregorio del Pilar) as the local affiliate of the Liberal Party.
