Current president Bongbong Marcos is not allowed for re-election because the president is limited to a single term under the 1987 Philippine Constitution. Current vice president Sara Duterte is allowed for re-election. Therefore, this election will determine the 18th president and the 16th vice president, if Duterte decides to run for another position or is not re-elected. The president and vice president are elected separately, so the two winning candidates may come from different political parties.
