List of vice presidents of the Philippines

This is a complete list of vice-presidents of the Philippines, who were inaugurated as Vice-President of the Philippines following the ratification of a constitution that explicitly declared the existence of the Philippines. The inclusion of Mariano Trías in the list is disputed, for Trias was chosen as vice-president at the Tejeros Convention, and again as vice-president for the short-lived Republic of Biak-na-Bato, which was dissolved after the signing of the Pact of Biak-na-Bato and Aguinaldo's exile. Neither the reassumption of power by Emilio Aguinaldo when the revolution was resumed in May 1898 nor his formal proclamation and inauguration as President under the First Philippine Republic in 1899 were regimes that provided for a vice-presidency. The vice-presidency within the context of the Philippine government was formally created by the constitution in 1935.

The official seal of the Vice-President of the Philippines

Vice-presidents during the Commonwealth of the Philippines were under American sovereignty, and there was no office of vice-president during the Second Republic, considered to be a puppet government of Imperial Japan during World War II.

When Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law, the sitting vice-president, Fernando Lopez, was removed from the office. Marcos ruled without a vice-president until 1986. The 1973 constitution initially did not provide for a vice-president, but subsequent amendments restored the office. A vice-president was able to sit after the 1986 election when the Marcos-Arturo Tolentino ticket was proclaimed winners by the Batasang Pambansa.

Three vice-presidents succeeded to the presidency due to the death of presidents – Sergio Osmeña (1944), Elpidio Quirino (1948) and Carlos P. Garcia (1957). They did not nominate a new vice-president, since the 1935 constitution was silent on the matter; a new vice-president would sit after the results of following elections were known. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo became president after the Supreme Court ruled that President Joseph Estrada resigned. Arroyo appointed Teofisto Guingona days after she ascended to power. The 1987 constitution mandated the President to nominate a vice-president from a member of the Congress of the Philippines, in which both houses vote separately for confirmation via a majority vote.

Fernando Lopez is the longest-serving vice-president, who served for a combined total of almost 11 years. Elpidio Quirino served the shortest time as vice- president for 1 year 10 months and 20 days. Noli de Castro was the first vice-president who was never a member of any political party but affiliated with the political coalition led by Lakas-CMD.

Unofficial vice presidents

Historians and other figures have identified the following people as having held the vice-presidency of a government intended to represent the Philippines, but their terms of office are not counted by the Philippine government as part of the presidential succession.

There is no office of the Vice President formed under the 1899 Malolos Constitution promulgated by President Emilio Aguinaldo. All previous national governments prior to 1899 are provisional or temporary in nature. Mariano Trias was elected as Vice President of the Tejeros Republic and Republic of Biak-na-Bato but was not included in the official roster of Philippine Vice Presidents.[12]

Mariano Trias (12 October 1868–2 February 1914) (Lived: 45 years)	March 22, 1897[13]	December 14, 1897[14]	None[15]	Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy	Tejeros Convention
	March 22, 1897[13]	December 14, 1897[14]	None[15]	Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy	Republic of Biak-na-Bato
Francisco Carreón (5 October 1868–1939/41) (Lived: ca. 71 or 73 years)	May 6, 1902	July 14, 1906[16]	None[15]	Macario Sakay y de León	Tagalog Republic
Benigno S. Aquino, Sr. (3 September 1894–20 December 1947) (lived: 53 years)	October 14, 1943	August 17, 1945	KALIBAPI	José P. Laurel	Second Republic
