Elected President

Noynoy Aquino
Liberal

Winning presidential and vice presidential candidates per province/city in the elections. Note that the two positions are voted separately and voters can split their votes.

The Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections of 2010 were held on Monday, May 10, 2010. The incumbent President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, is barred from seeking re-election pursuant to the constitution. Thus, the elected president will become the 15th President of the Philippines.

Incumbent Vice-President Noli de Castro was allowed to seek re-election though he could have possibly sought the presidency. As he is not standing for any election, his successor will be the 15th Vice President of the Philippines. Although most presidential candidates have running mates, the president and vice president are elected separately, and the winning candidates may be of different political parties.

This election was also the first time that the Commission of Elections (Comelec) implemented full automation of elections, pursuant to Republic Act 9369, “An act authorizing the Commission on Elections to use an Automated Election System in the May 11, 1998 National or Local Elections and in subsequent National And Local Electoral Exercises”.[1]

The results of the congressional canvassing showed that Senator Noynoy Aquino of the Liberal Party won by a plurality, although it is the largest margin in the history of presidential elections in the Fifth Republic, percentage-wise.

Meanwhile, in the election for the vice-presidency, Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) defeated Senator Mar Roxas of the Liberal Party in the narrowest margin in the history of vice presidential elections in the Fifth Republic. Roxas is considering of filing an electoral protest to the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET; the Supreme Court). Aquino and Binay were proclaimed in a joint session of Congress on June 9, and will take their oaths on June 30, 2010.

Results

The candidate in each position with the highest amount of votes is declared the winner; there is no runoff. Congress shall canvass the votes in joint public session.

When there are two or more candidates who have an equal and highest amount of votes, Congress, voting separately via majority vote, will choose among the candidates who have an equal and highest amount of votes to be the president.

The Supreme Court shall "be the sole judge of all contests relating to the election, returns, and qualifications of the President or Vice President".

There are several parallel tallies, with the Congressional canvass the official tally. The COMELEC used the election returns from the polling precincts; the Congress as the national board of canvassers will base their official tally from the certificates of canvass from the provinces and cities, which were derived from the election returns. The accredited citizen's arm, the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) also used the election returns from the polling precincts. In theory, all tallies must be identitcal.

Aquino and Binay were proclaimed as president-elect and vice president-elect in a joint session on June 9. The president-elect and vice president-elect will be inaugurated on June 30.[30]
