The Philippine Councilors League – or more simply the PCL – is a formal organization of all the municipal and city councilors in the Philippines.[1]

Last February 27, 2020, the outgoing national board declared a failure of elections after the automated election system contracted by the organization to conduct the election of its national officers failed.[2] Competing for the top position were councilors Danilo Dayanghirang from Davao City, who was handpicked by President Rodrigo Duterte,[3][4] and Jesciel Richard Salceda from Polangui, Albay.[5]
