Malacaang Palace in Manila is the official residence of the President.[note 1] Built in 1750, it has become a prominent
symbol of and metonym for the office.
Under the present Constitution of the Philippines, the President of the Philippines (Filipino: Pangulo
ng Pilipinas) is both the head of state and the head of government, and serves as the commander-
in-chief of the country's armed forces.[4] The President is directly elected by qualified voters of the
population to a six-year term and must be "a natural-born citizen of the Philippines, a registered
voter, able to read and write, at least forty years of age on the day of the election, and a resident of
the Philippines for at least ten years immediately preceding such election". Any person who has
served as president for more than four years is barred from running for the position again. Upon
an incumbent president's death, permanent disability, resignation, or removal from office, the Vice
President assumes the post.[5]
Sixteen people have been sworn into office as president. Following the ratification of the Malolos
Constitutionin 1899, Emilio Aguinaldo became the inaugural president of the Malolos Republic,
considered the First Philippine Republic.[6][note 2] He held that office until 1901 when he was captured by
United States forces during the PhilippineAmerican War (18991902).[4] The American colonization
of the Philippines abolished the First Republic,[7] which led an American governor-general to exercise
executive power.[8]
In 1935 the US, pursuant to its promise of full Philippine sovereignty,[9] established
the Commonwealth of the Philippines following the ratification of the 1935 Constitution, which also
restored the presidency. The first national presidential election was held,[note 3] and Manuel L.
Quezon (193544) was elected to a six-year term, with no provision for re-election, [12] as the second
Philippine president and the first Commonwealth president.[note 2] In 1940, however, the Constitution
was amended to allow re-election but shortened the term to four years.[4] A change in government
occurred three years later when the Second Philippine Republic was organized with the enactment
of the 1943 Constitution, which Japan imposed after it occupied the Philippines in 1942 during World
War II.[13] Jos P. Laurel acted aspuppet president of the new Japanese-sponsored government;
[14]
his de facto presidency,[15] not legally recognized until the 1960s,[16] overlapped with that of the
president of the Commonwealth, which went into exile. The Second Republic was dissolved
after Japan surrendered to the Allies in 1945; the Commonwealth was restored in the Philippines in
the same year with Sergio Osmea (194446) as president.[4]
Manuel Roxas (194648) followed Osmea when he won the first post-war election in 1946. He
became the first president of the independent Philippines when the Commonwealth ended
on July 4 of that year. The Third Republic was ushered in and would cover the administrations of the
next five presidents, the last of which wasFerdinand Marcos (196586),[4] who performed a self-
coup by imposing martial law in 1972.[17] The dictatorship saw the birth of Marcos' New Society and
the Fourth Republic. His tenure lasted until 1986 when he was deposed in the People Power
Revolution. The current constitution came into effect in 1987, marking the beginning of the Fifth
Republic.[4]
Of the individuals elected as president, three died in office: two of natural causes (Manuel L.
Quezon[18] and Manuel Roxas[19]) and one in a plane crash (Ramon Magsaysay (195357)[20]). The
longest-serving president is Ferdinand Marcos with 20 years and 57 days in office; he is the only
president to have served more than two terms. The shortest is Sergio Osmea who spent 1 year and
300 days in off.
Two women have held the office: Corazon Aquino (1986-1992), who ascended to the presidency
upon the successful People Power Revolution of 1986 and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (2001-2010),
who as Vice President, ascended to the presidency upon Estrada's resignation and was elected to a
full six-year term in 2004.

President of the Philippines
Notes[edit]
1. Jump up^ The President has three official residences, with the
Malacaang Palace Complex as the principal abode and
workplace.[1] The other two are Mansion House in Baguio, the
official summer residence,[2] and Malacaang sa
Sugbo(Malacaang of Cebu), the official residence in Cebu.[3]
3. Jump up^ Emilio Aguinaldo, the official first president, was elected
by the Malolos Congress and not by popular vote.[10][11]
8. Jump up^ The Malolos Constitution did not provide for a vice
president.[35]
11. Jump up^ Term was originally until November 15, 1943, due to
constitutional limitations as provided by the 1940 amendment of
the 1935 Constitution, which shortened the terms of the president
and the vice president from six to four years but allowed re-
election.[subnote 6] Quezon was not intended to serve the full four years
of the second term he won in the 1941 election because a ten-year
presidency would have been considered excessive. In 1943,
however, due to World War II, he and Vice President Sergio
Osmea, who was also re-elected, had to take an emergency oath
of office, extending their tenure.[4][12]
14. Jump up^ Sought an election for a full term, but was unsuccessful.
16. ^ Jump up to:a b The Liberal Party was not yet a party in itself at the
time, but only a wing of the Nacionalista Party.[41] It split and
became a separate party by 1947.[42]
19. Jump up^ Previously affiliated with the Nacionalista Party,[49] but
was elected by theNational Assembly under the Japanese-
organized KALIBAPI, a "non-political service organization" as it
described itself.[50] All pre-war parties were replaced by the
KALIBAPI.[13][16]
20. Jump up^ The 1943 Constitution did not provide for a vice
president.[35][51]
21. Jump up^ The Third Republic began when the Philippine
Commonwealth ended on July 4, 1946.[4][53]
23. Jump up^ The Liberal Party was split into two opposing wings for
the 1949 election: the Avelino wing, led by presidential
aspirant Jos Avelino, and the Quirino wing.[55]
34. Jump up^ Deposed after the Supreme Court declared Estrada as
resigned, and, as a result, the office of the president vacant, after
the Second EDSA Revolution.[85]
10. ^ Jump up to:a b c On January 17, 1973, while martial law was still in
effect, the 1973 Constitution was ratified, which suspended the
1935 Constitution and ended the Third Republic.[35][53] What Marcos
called a New Society (Bagong Lipunan) began,[53] introducing
a parliamentary form of government;[77] the vice presidency was
abolished and the presidential succession provision was devolved
to the prime minister.[35]
