  • Bongbong Marcos (PFP), former senator
    • By January 2020, Marcos confirmed that he is running "for a national position" in 2022, although he did not specify which position.[6] By September 2020, Marcos's sister Imee said that her brother was still noncommittal to which position he'd run for.[7] A year later, Marcos himself confirmed that "The presidency is not taken off the table."[8] On September 21, the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP; transl. Federal Party of the Philippines) nominated Marcos to run for president. If Marcos accepts, he will be inducted as a member of the party and be made its chairman.[9] During the national convention of the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL; transl. New Society Movement) in Binangonan, the party founded by his father, he was nominated as the party's candidate for president. Marcos, who remained a member of the Nacionalista Party, thanked KBL for the nomination, but said that he will announce his plans "when the time comes."[10] On October 5, Marcos announced his presidential candidacy.[11] Marcos then resigned from the Nacionalistas and was sworn in at the PFP chairman.[12] Marcos ultimately filed his presidential candidacy under the PFP.[13]

  • Manny Pacquiao (PROMDI), incumbent senator
    • Boxing promoter Bob Arum said in June 2020 that Pacquiao told him that he'd run for president instead of defending his Senate seat in 2022.[22] A few days later, Pacquiao denied talking to Arum about politics.[23] A year after that, sports official and former Bacolod mayor and representative Monico Puentebella said that Pacquiao is running for president, and that he was authorized by the latter to talk about politics.[24] In September 2021, Pacquiao said that he only have three options in politics: run for president, run for reelection in the Senate, or retire from politics altogether.[25] On September 19, he accepted the nomination of the PDP-Laban faction led by senator Koko Pimentel.[26] On October 1, 2021, Pacquiao filed his certificate of candidacy for the presidency under PROMDI, the party founded by the late Cebu governor Lito Osmeña.[27]

    • The Laban ng Masa (transl. Struggle of the Masses) coalition launched a campaign to collect 300,000 signatures to urge activist and former party-list lawmaker Walden Bello to run for president in the 2022 elections. In a statement, Laban ng Masa said it wants to "push for an ambitious platform that focuses on the poor, prioritizes the neglected, and fights for the rights of ordinary Filipinos."[36] Bello's group sought talks with Vice President Robredo's backers for three months but were ignored. This caused them to support Leody de Guzman's presidential candidacy, instead.[37] On October 20, Bello decided to run for the vice-presidency, replacing Raquel Castillo, who had been Guzman's running mate.[38]
  • Rizalito David (DPP)
  • Sara Duterte (Lakas), incumbent mayor of Davao City

  • Carlos Serapio (Katipunan ng Kamalayang Kayumanggi)
  • Tito Sotto (NPC), incumbent president of the Senate of the Philippines[48]
