From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Former Philippine Presidents who ran again)
This is a complete list of former Presidents of the Philippines who ran again for Presidency or was appointed in a government position after his/her term ended.
Since the adoption of the 1987 Constitution, a former president may not run for the office unless s/he has served more than 4 years; the previous 1973 constitution provided no limit while the 1935 constitution provided only one reelection. The term limit has prevented any living president to run again for office; one exception was Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who has served for 3 and a half years prior to her election in 2004.
