2022 Philippine presidential election

The 2022 Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections were held on May 9, 2022, as part of the 2022 general election. This was the 17th direct presidential election and 16th vice presidential election in the Philippines since 1935, and the sixth sextennial presidential and vice presidential election since 1992.

Incumbent president Rodrigo Duterte was ineligible for re-election because the president is limited to a single term under the 1987 Philippine Constitution. Incumbent vice president Leni Robredo was eligible for re-election but chose to run for the presidency instead. Therefore, this election determined the 17th president and the 15th vice president. The president and vice president are elected separately, so the two winning candidates can come from different political parties.

The election took place amidst the COVID-19 pandemic which had caused the country's economy to fall into recession. Other key issues were the controversial policies of President Duterte such as the War on Drugs, the destructive presidency of former president Ferdinand Marcos, Marcos’ father, the country's relationships with China and the United States, management of the country's debt, rising inflation, and climate change.

The ticket of incumbent Vice President Leni Robredo and incumbent senator Francis Pangilinan won the presidency and vice presidency respectively, defeating their closest rivals, former senator Bongbong Marcos and Davao City mayor Sara Duterte. It was the first election since the establishment of the Fifth Republic in 1987 where the president was elected by a majority, and the first election since 2004 where the winning president and vice president came from the same presidential ticket. The election saw the highest turnout since 1998, with almost 57 million voters participating. Robredo received 33.2 million votes, the most votes ever cast for a candidate in the country, while Pangilinan is the first candidate to win the vice presidency by more that 1 million votes since Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 1998.

Robredo became the first ever president from Camarines Sur while Pangilinan became the third vice president from Pampanga. This election was dubbed the “Third People Power Revolution” as a member of the Marcos family was once again denied from power by a popular movement.
