The Philippine presidential and vice presidential election of 2016 is the next presidential election in the Philippines, scheduled on Monday, May 9, 2016. Incumbent President Benigno Aquino III is barred from seeking re-election, pursuant to the 1987 Philippine Constitution. Therefore, this election will determine the 16th President of the Philippines. The position of president and vice president are elected separately, and the winning candidates may come from different political parties.

This will be the 16th presidential election in the Philippines since 1935, and the sixth sextennial presidential election since 1986. This will be a part of the 2016 general election where elections to the Senate, House of Representatives and local government above the barangay level, including the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao shall be held.

Electoral system[edit]

The election is held every six years after 1992, on the second Monday of May. The incumbent president is term limited. The incumbent vice president may run for two consecutive terms. As Joseph Estrada, who was elected in 1998, was able to run in 2010, it is undetermined if the term limit is for life, or is only limited to the incumbent.

The plurality voting system is used to determine the winner: the candidate with the highest number of votes, whether or not one has a majority, wins the presidency. The vice presidential election is a separate election, is held on the same rules, and voters may split their ticket. Both winners serve for six years beginning June 30. 2016 and ends six years later.

The candidates are determined via political conventions of the different political parties. As most political parties in the Philippines are not based on ideology but as a relationship between patrons and clients, and interactions between political dynasties, a person who was not nominated in this way may either run as an independent, get drafted by another party, or form one's own party. Candidates register at the Commission on Elections. which also regulates and holds the election. The commission then weeds out the so-called "nuisance candidates," or those who have no capability of running a nationwide campaign. This limits the candidates to a small number. Campaigning runs for three months, beginning on early February, and ends at the eve of the election, with a break for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

Counting of votes is initially held at voting precincts, then are tabulated to the towns and cities, then to the provinces, and finally to Congress, which canvasses the votes. Election protests are handled by the Supreme Court, when it sits as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal.

Background[edit]

Map of the results of the 2010 vice presidential election. Provinces and cities won by Binay are in orange shades, Roxas in yellow shades, and Edu Manzano's are in blue.

Senator Benigno Aquino III, who ran on an anti-corruption platform, defeated Joseph Estrada, deposed president who was convicted of massive corruption in 2009, of the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) and several others in the presidential election. Meanwhile, Estrada's running mate, Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban), defeated Aquino's running mate, Senator Mar Roxas of the Liberal Party and several others, in the vice presidential election.[1] Roxas eventually sued Binay of electoral fraud in the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, citing that some of his votes were recorded as null votes.[2]

Both Binay and Roxas were subsequently appointed by Aquino to his cabinet, with Binay heading the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council,[3] and Roxas first being given the Transportation and Communications portfolio, then finally named as Secretary of the Interior and Local Government, after the ban of appointing losing candidates expired a year after Aquino took office on June 30, 2010.[4] As of 2014, the tribunal had still not yet acted upon the preliminary motions of both parties and on Binay's counter-protest; the suit is expected to be never resolved by the time President Aquino's term expires.[5]

For the midterm 2013 Senate election, Aquino and Roxas formed the Team PNoy coalition;[6] Estrada's PMP and Binay's PDP-Laban forged an electoral alliance, the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).[7] Team PNoy won nine Senate seats against UNA's three.[8] Movie and Television Review and Classification Board chairman Grace Poe, who was a daughter of 2004 presidential candidate Fernando Poe, Jr., and was from Team PNoy, appeared as an independent on the ballot, but was personally supported by the elder Poe's best friend Estrada, emerged as the surprise topnotcher,[9] catapulting her into the presidential candidates discussion.[10]

On March 2014, PDP-Laban withdrew from UNA, a week after Binay resigned as party chairman, due "to differences with its leaders". Party president Aquilino Pimentel III had a public quarrel with Binay over Juan Miguel Zubiri's inclusion in UNA's 2013 senatorial slate, whom Pimentel had accused of cheating in the 2007 Senate election.[11]

Several other stalwarts of UNA, such as senators Juan Ponce Enrile and Jinggoy Estrada, who had manifested his intention to run as Binay's running mate, and others such as Senator Bong Revilla of Lakas-CMD, who is planning to run for president, are currently detained due to their involvement in the pork barrel scam.[12][13] No personalities linked with the Liberal Party but were also involved in the scam were investigated upon; these actions by the government, which it says is part of its anti-corruption drive, has been cited by UNA as "political persecution".[14]

On July 2014, Renato Bondal, a defeated mayoral candidate in the 2013 Makati mayoral election, filed plunder cases against Makati mayor Jejomar Binay, Jr. and his father, the vice president, to the Ombudsman. By the next month, a subcommittee of the Blue Ribbon Committee composed solely of Pimentel, along with Nacionalista Party members Alan Peter Cayetano and Antonio Trillanes IV, began still ongoing Senate hearings against Binay on his alleged his corruption while serving as mayor of Makati, beginning with the alleged overpriced annex building of the Makati City Hall.[15] It was followed by hearings on alleged corruption on deals supplying Makati senior citizens with birthday cakes,[16] an agricultural estate in Rosario, Batangas that Binay allegedly owns,[17] the allegedly overpriced Makati Science High School,[18] and the relocation of Makati residents to Calauan, Laguna to a community without basic necessities.[19]

Makati City Hall (taller building to the right) as viewed from the Pasig River; the allegedly overpriced annex is the building to the left.

Binay had consistently denied any wrongdoing,[20] and from owning the Rosario estate,[21] but had never appeared at the Senate.[22] UNA Secretary General JV Bautista branded the investigations as part of the "Operation Plan Stop Nognog", insinuating on Binay's dark skin, with Roxas, Cayetano and Trillanes allegedly behind it to prevent Binay from becoming president. He accused billionaire businessman Salvador Zamora as its financier.[23] On May 2015, the Court of Appeals ordered the 242 bank accounts belonging to Binay to be frozen for six months, when it granted the petition of the Anti-Money Laundering Council and of the Ombudsman. Binay's camp had alleged certain people from the Liberal Party to be behind the freeze order,[24] a charge President Aquino, in a Bombo Radyo interview, himself denied.[25]

By late May 2015, the subcommittee report recommending the filing of a plunder (corruption worth more than 50 million pesos) complaint against Binay was signed by all three subcommittee members and Grace Poe.[26] By early June, ten senators had already signed the subcommittee report, making it official and available to be debated upon in the Senate floor.[27] A month later, Binay sued Cayetano, Trillanes and several others for 200 million pesos in damages at the Makati Regional Trial Court for "well-organized and orchestrated effort" to damage his reputation and worsen his chances of becoming president.[28]

Meanwhile, Aquino held several meetings with Roxas, Poe and Francis Escudero on who should be the standard bearer of the Liberal Party. While none of them had announced their preferences at that time, Aquino is expected to announced his preferred candidate after his final State of the Nation Address late in July. Congressional heads Franklin Drilon and Feliciano Belmonte, Jr. denied that Liberal Party members had been dissatisfied with Aquino's indecision, saying that the party is still united.[29]

On early July, Binay launched his party, the United Nationalist Alliance.[30] Later that month, Aquino did endorse Roxas for president, which the latter accepted.[31] On August, Rodrigo Duterte, the Davao City mayor who had been a subject of a strong online following urging him to run, announced his intention to retire from politics after his mayoral term ends in 2016.[32] Poe announced her intention to seek the presidency by mid-September.[33]

Candidates[edit]

For president[edit]

Jejomar Binay[edit]

Jejomar Binay

When questioned by the media at the Coconut Palace in September 2011, Vice President Jejomar Binay (PDP-Laban) confirmed his plans of running as president.[34]

By May 2014, Binay began his search for a running mate. As his potential running mate Senator Jinggoy Estrada in jail due to his implication in the PDAF scam,[35] Binay's offers were declined by JV Ejercito,[36] Manny Villar (via wife Cynthia Villar),[37] Vilma Santos (via husband Ralph Recto),[38] Mar Roxas,[39] Grace Poe,[40] Rodrigo Duterte[41] and Joseph Estrada.[42] Binay's daughter Abigail, also the Representative from Makati, said that Binay would accept anyone as his running mate except for Antonio Trillanes, and that she prefers Grace Poe, however Sen. Bongbong Marcos was the most preferred by UNA officials to be his running mate.[43] On June 12, Independence Day, speech in Iloilo, President Aquino said that he could only offer Binay the conduct of a clean and honest election, but not an outright endorsement.[44]

On June 22, Binay resigned from the Aquino cabinet, both as presidential adviser on Overseas Filipino Workers' concerns and as chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, but did not say why.[45] Two days later, Binay addressed the public from his Coconut Palace offices, branding the current administration as "manhid at palpak" (insensitive and bumbling), but did not mention Aquino by name. He also accused the administration of committing sins against him and the people.[46]

Rizalito David[edit]

Socio-political analyst Rizalito David (Ang Kapatiran Party) formally filed his certificate of candidacy for President on October 12, 2015. He is running under the Ang Kapatiran Party, which has participated in national elections since 2007.[47]

A defeated senatorial candidate in the 2013 midterm elections, David gained prominence recently when he filed a disqualification case against Senator Grace Poe (also a presidential aspirant) on the grounds of her citizenship.[47]

Miriam Defensor-Santiago[edit]

Miriam Defensor-Santiago

In a press conference on July 2, 2014, Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago (People's Reform Party) revealed she was suffering from Stage 4 lung cancer and she might run as president for the third time if it goes into remission.[48]

By November 2014, Santiago, in a tweet, announced that "In the 2016 presidential elections, when I am rid of my lung cancer, I intend to claim the presidency I won in 1992." In a letter to the Senate, Santiago said that more than 90% of the cancer cells have regressed.[49]

Santiago announced her candidacy for president in the launch of her book Stupid is Forevermore on October 13, 2015. She will run under the People's Reform Party, the same party in which she ran under during her 1992 and 1998 presidential campaigns. She refused to disclose who her running mate will be, but revealed that it is someone who already expressed his or her intent to run for vice-president.[50]

Grace Poe[edit]

Grace Poe

Grace Poe's surprising first-place finish in the 2013 Senate election as an independent made her a likely contender for the presidency but she dismissed any plans of running in April 2014, saying she was not considering "anything higher at this point."[51]

On President Aquino's state visit to Canada on May 2015, the president disclosed that he had met with Poe prior to the trip, although he didn't say on what the meeting was for.[52] A couple of days later, Poe confirmed that she did meet with Aquino. Poe said that "We discussed his intention to choose a candidate who, first and foremost, has the trust of the nation, and, secondly, has the potential to win in the election, in order to sustain the reforms especially against corruption and the pro-poor programs of the government." Poe expects more meetings with Aquino in June.[53]

On June 2, UNA interim president Toby Tiangco, responding to calls for Jejomar Binay to "come clean" on his corruption allegations, said in a press conference that Poe is not qualified to run either for president or vice president after citing her certificate of candidacy in the 2013 Senate election which stated that she is a resident for six years and six months; adding three years for the 2016 election, nine years and six months or six months short mandated by the constitution.[54] Two days later, before a Senate session, Poe said that she wrote "six years and six months" because it was on April 2006 that her home in the United States was sold. Poe, who had been a resident of the United States for 13 years, returned to the Philippines after her father Fernando Poe, Jr. died on December 2004. She said that she a proof that she had been living in the Philippines since February 2005. She said, that despite being a congressman for Navotas, Tiangco lives elsewhere, and that her decision on whether to run in 2016 is "50%" sure. Poe also observed that the attacks from UNA only began after she signed the Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee report recommending plunder and graft cases against Binay.[55]

On September 16, at a gathering at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City, Poe announced her intention to seek the presidency, saying that "No one person or group has a monopoly on a straight path advocacy" of President Aquino, a shot against Aquino's party's nominee Roxas, who is advocating for continuation of the "Daang Matuwid" (straight path) advocacy of Aquino; while also hitting the Administration programs. This resulted in the Palace to question their Daang Matuwid advocacy are contrary to their speeches.[56]

Mar Roxas[edit]

Mar Roxas

Senate President Franklin Drilon, when describing the Liberal Party's plans for Interior Secretary Mar Roxas' in 2016, told the media on January 2013 that "so far as the LP is concerned, [and] in so far as I am concerned, we believe that he is best qualified for 2016."[57] Two years later, Drilon told DZIQ AM radio that Roxas had expressed his interest internally within the party.[58] Several Liberal Party stalwarts had by then expressed that Roxas should declare his intentions at that time,[59] with some such as Budget Secretary Florencio Abad suggesting that Roxas may slide down to run for the vice presidency again.[60]

Aquino had a series of meetings between Roxas, Grace Poe and Francis Escudero from prior to Aquino's state visit to Canada in May, until days before his final State of the Nation Address in July, including a July dinner with all three of them at the Bahay Pangarap, Aquino's official residence at the Malacañang Palace complex. While Roxas was seen as Aquino's choice to succeed him, another question was who would be Roxas' running mate, as Poe had earlier said that she'd rather run with Escudero as her running mate.[61]

On July 31, 2015, at an event dubbed as "A Gathering of Friends", Roxas formally accepted the Liberal Party's nomination after he was officially endorsed by President Benigno Aquino III in the presence of their political allies at the Club Filipino, San Juan, where Roxas had announced his decision to withdraw from the 2010 presidential election and give way to Aquino's presidential bid. Aquino also announced his candidacy there on September 9, 2009.[31] On the same day, Roxas formally launched his campaign website.

Roy Señeres[edit]

OFW Family Club representative Roy Señeres first bared his plan to run for the Presidency on October 20, 2014, during the launch of his Respect our Security of Employment (ROSE) movement in Butuan.[62] Almost a year later, on October 8, 2015, Señeres reiterated his plan to run for President in the 2016 presidential election during a briefing at the House of Representatives.[63] He will run under the Partido ng Manggagawa at Magsasaka and will field a vice-presidential candidate and a 12-man senatorial slate.[63] He is also expected to formally launch his presidential bid on October 11, 2015 at the Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila.[64]

Augusto Syjuco Jr.[edit]

Former Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) director-general and Iloilo representative Augusto Syjuco Jr. announced his presidential bid on October 11, 2015, a day before the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy at the COMELEC offices. [65]

For vice president[edit]

Albert Alba[edit]

Albert Alba of the Ang Kapatiran Party filed his candidacy for Vice-President on October 12, 2015. He will be the running mate of presidential candidate Rizalito David, who filed his respective candicacy on the same day.[47]

Alan Peter Cayetano[edit]

Alan Peter Cayetano

In a March 2013 interview at the ABS-CBN News Channel, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano (Nacionalista Party), said that "I want to be president of this country."[66] On September 2015, after several surveys saw him trailing in the presidential race, said that he is withdrawing from the presidential election, and would instead focus for the vice presidency, preferably as the running mate of either Mar Roxas or Rodrigo Duterte.

A few days later in a Davao City meeting, Cayetano announced that he will seek candidacy for running as Vice President. Cayetano, who he is the member of Nacionalista Party, did not mention his presidential running-mate as the Nacionalistas will meet in a few days, for their decision.[67] On October 1, Duterte said that if he'll ever run for president, he'd prefer Cayetano to be his running mate.[68] Days later, Duterte declined the offer to be Cayetano and Bongbong Marcos' offers to be their presidential running mate.[69]

Francis Escudero[edit]

Francis Escudero

Senator Francis Escudero (independent) said in in a March 2012 Rappler interview that "Let me be honest, candid, yet factual about it. I would be very interested in seeking a higher office in 2016 for the simple reason that I’m halfway through my last term."[70] By May 2015, Grace Poe told reporters that she would not run against Escudero.[71]

On September 17 at the Club Filipino in San Juan, Escudero announced his vice presidential bid, becoming Poe's running mate.[72]

Gregorio Honasan[edit]

Senator Gregorio Honasan (United Nationalist Alliance) denied that he was going to be Jejomar Binay's running mate on September 2015.[73] By the next month, however, he said that his team-up with Binay was possible.[74] On October 12, 2015, Honasan announced that he will be running with Binay as the latter's vice president.[75]

Bongbong Marcos[edit]

Bongbong Marcos

Asked on a November 2012 interview at DZBB on his plans to run in 2016, Senator Bongbong Marcos (Nacionalista Party) said "Never say never."[76] By March 2015, in another interview, this time at DZMM, he said that he "will thoroughly study everything."[77] On August 2015, after reports surfaced of him being Jejomar Binay's running mate, Marcos clarified on an interview at the ABS-CBN News Channel that he is still undecided on what position to run for, but he would certainly not be defending his Senate seat.[78]

On October 5, 2015, Senator Bongbong Marcos announced his candidacy for Vice President of the Philippines in the 2016 election, and would support the candidacy of Rodrigo Duterte if he ever does run.[79]

Leni Robredo[edit]

Leni Robredo

On August 2015, Representative from Camarines Sur's third district Leni Robredo (Liberal Party) said that talk of plans of her running in 2016 is "too soon", and that she'd only run if she's "indispensable".[80]

After the initial objections of her daughters, Robredo decided to run for Vice President, accepting the offers of President Aquino and Mar Roxas.[81] She officially announced her candidacy for the office on October 5, 2015, at the Cory C. Aquino Kalayaan Hall, of the historic Club Filipino, in front of thousands of supporters.[82]

Antonio Trillanes[edit]

Antonio Trillanes IV

In the news program Bandila's May 30, 2014 segment where a guest is asked to answer only “yes” or “no,” Senator Antonio Trillanes IV (Nacionalista Party) was asked if he would run for vice president in 2016 and responded by saying "Let’s just say yes, I will run. As for what position, I will abide by the Nacionalista Party."[83]

By August 2015, Trillanes bared his plans of running as an independent vice presidential candidate, saying that the Nacionalistas would not endorse a candidate if more than one of them ran for the vice presidency. Trillanes' own group, Magdalo, his backing his vice presidential bid.[84]
