2028 Philippine presidential election

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 will be ineligible for re-election when he has served for four years because the president is limited to a single term if they have served for four years 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.

 Eligibility and requirements 
Article VII, Section 2 of the constitution states for a person to serve as president must:

 be a natural-born citizen of the Philippines. 
 be a registered voter.
 be able to read and write. 
 be at least forty years old on the day of the election.
 be a permanent resident in the Philippines for at least ten years.
