Candidates

Under the Constitution of the Philippines, the President and Vice President are elected separately. An initial list of eight presidential candidates were uploaded on the certified candidates list in the commission's database on January 21, 2016.[2] But only trimmed down to five, due to the declaration by the commission en banc of Dante Valencia as a nuisance candidate and the withdrawal of certificates of candidacies of Romel Mendoza and Roy Señeres.[3][4][5]

This is the final and certified list of candidates for the elections to be included in the ballots:[6][7] Jejomar Binay,[8] Miriam Defensor Santiago,[9] Rodrigo Duterte,[10][11] Grace Poe,[12] and Mar Roxas.[13] Although Señeres withdrew his candidacy and later died, his name was still included on the printed ballots.
