Presidential elections in the Philippines are set to be held on Monday, May 8, 2028, as part of the 2028 Philippine general election. This will be the 18th direct presidential election and 16th vice presidential election in the country since 1935, and will be the seventh sextennial presidential and vice presidential election since 1992.

Incumbent president Bongbong Marcos is ineligible for re-election because the president is limited to a single term under the 1987 Philippine Constitution. Incumbent vice president Sara Duterte is eligible for re-election for Vice-President. Therefore, this election will determine the 18th president and the 16th vice president, if Duterte decides to run for another position or is not re-elected. The president and vice president are elected separately, so the two winning candidates may come from different political parties.

Background

[edit]

In the 2022 Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections, the UniTeam ticket of former Senator Bongbong Marcos of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) and Davao City mayor Sara Duterte of Lakas–CMD won, running on a platform that promised broad continuity of incumbent president Rodrigo Duterte's programs and policies.[1] The two became first presidential ticket to win since 2004 and the first president and vice president to be elected by a majority since the establishment of the Fifth Republic in 1987, defeating the Liberal-led opposition ticket of incumbent vice president Leni Robredo and Francis Pangilinan alongside several other candidates.[2]

Being the only candidate of the opposition Team Robredo–Pangilinan alliance to be re-elected in the 2022 Senate election,[a] senator Risa Hontiveros of Akbayan became the de facto leader of the opposition against Marcos and Duterte, succeeding Robredo.[3][4]

Despite running as a single ticket during the election, relations between Marcos and Duterte worsened throughout his presidency. Duterte left Lakas–CMD in May 2023. Duterte later resigned from his cabinet in June 2024.[5] On February 5, 2025, efforts to impeach the vice president succeeded in the House of Representatives, following Duterte's controversial use of confidential and intelligence funds and her assassination threat against Marcos and his family.[6][7] She became the first sitting vice president, as well as the fourth official in Philippine history, to be impeached.[8] If Duterte is convicted, she would be removed from office and be barred from holding any government position, including the presidency.[9]
