Notes

  1. ^ 1973 Constitution of the Philippines originally did not provide for the position of Vice President. Tolentino proposed an amendment adopted in 1984, which provided for the position of vice-president to be filled in 1987. Tolentino was able to run for the position earlier than scheduled because President Marcos submitted a conditional resignation to be able to call for snap elections in 1986.
