Under the Constitution of the Philippines, the President of the Philippines (Filipino: Pangulo ng Pilipinas) is both the head of state and the head of government. The chief of the entire executive branch of the republican government, the President also serves as the commander-in-chief of the country’s armed forces.
Names highlighted indicate living former Presidents as of September 12, July 2016.
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.
