The president of the Philippines (Filipino: pangulo ng Pilipinas, sometimes referred to as presidente ng Pilipinas) is the head of state, head of government and chief executive of the Philippines. The president leads the executive branch of the Philippine government and is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The president is directly elected by the citizens of the Philippines and is one of only two nationally elected executive officials, the other being the vice president of the Philippines. However, four vice presidents have assumed the presidency without having been elected to the office, by virtue of a president's intra-term death or resignation.[e]
Filipinos generally refer to their president as pangulo or presidente in their local language. The president is limited to a single six-year term. According to Article 7 Section 4 of the Philippine 1987 Constitution, the president "shall not be eligible for any reelection" and that, "no person who has succeeded as president and has served as such for more than four years shall be qualified for election to the same office at any time" Although Gloria Arroyo served as president for 9 years 5 months and 29 days [7] from 2001–2004, after taking over the office of President Joseph Estrada as he was forced to stepdown as President of the Philippines,[8] to 2004–2010 when she served as the elected as President of the Philippine Republic.[9]
The current president of the Philippines is Bongbong Marcos, who was sworn in on June 30, 2022, at the National Museum of Fine Arts (formerly the Legislative Building).
