Description

The 1969 Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections were held on November 11, 1969. Incumbent Nacionalista President Ferdinand Marcos was reelected to a second term, defeating Liberal Sergio Osmeña Jr., senator and former Cebu City mayor. Marcos was the last president in the entire electoral history of the Philippines who ran for and won a second term. His running mate, incumbent Vice President Fernando Lopez, was also elected to a third full term as Vice President of the Philippines. A total of twelve candidates ran for president, but ten of those got less than 0.01% of the vote. Despite Marcos' win, Osmeña never conceded defeat.
