2028 Philippine presidential election

The 2028 Philippine presidential election were held on May 9, 2028, as part of the 2028 general election. This was the 18th direct presidential election and 17th vice presidential election since 1935, and the seventh sextennial presidential and vice-presidential election since 1992.
Incumbent president Bongbong Marcos was illegible for a second term in office; however, a decree made by the vice secretary of the Philippines allowed him to serve a second term and also a third term. Since the 1987 Constitution was already too late, it was banned and replaced by the 2027 Constitution, with the terms inside it. Incumbent vice president Sara Duterte was eligible for re-election but chose to run for the presidency instead. Therefore, this election determined the 18th president and the 16th vice president. The position of president and vice president are elected seperately, so two must come from different parties.
Bongbong Marcos returned once again to pursue a second term against Armando Liwanag, head of the Philippine Communist Party. Bongbong was given 67.85 million votes, the highest record for the largest vote in the Philippine elections. Sara Duterte became the vice president of the Philippines once again; Paeng Nepomuceno also retired from golf-playing and worked with the PCP. Bongbong Marcos defeated Armando Liwanag in a landslide; his vote was about 13.82 million votes. About 87 million voters participated in the election. Determined to help the Philippines from its recession, they elected Bongbong Marcos with the 2nd term. However, Armando Liwanag was not lucky.
This was the first time a president was elected for the second time. However, it sparked major revolutions and outbreaks, eventually scaling into the Philippine Civil War which lasted 11 years.
