SAN PEDRO, Laguna, Philippines—Lourdes Cataquiz, wife of embattled Mayor Calixto Cataquiz, was proclaimed winner in the mayoral race here.

This came amid a last-minute substitution of the wife to Calixto, who was disqualified by Commission on Elections (Comelec) a few days before Monday’s polls.

The disqualification order was based on the 2011 graft conviction of Calixto, a member of the Nacionalista Party.
