context_page_description: A general election in the Philippines took place on May 9, 2016, for executive and legislative branches for all levels of government – national, provincial, and local, except for the barangay officials.
  At the top of the ballot was the election for successors to Philippine President Benigno Aquino III and Vice President Jejomar Binay. There were also elections for:
  12 seats to the Senate;
  All 297 seats to the House of Representatives;
  All governors, vice governors, and 772 seats to provincial boards for 81 provinces;
  All mayors and vice mayors for 145 cities and for 1,489 municipalities;
  All members of the city councils and 11,924 seats on municipal councils; and
  Governor, vice governor and all 24 seats in the regional assembly of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
  The regional election for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao were scheduled for May 9, but that would have changed if the Bangsamoro political entity had replaced the ARMM. The ARMM elections pushed through, as scheduled.
  Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections were scheduled for October 2016, but were postponed to 2017. Congress postponed anew to barangay elections to May 2018.
context_section_description: Local elections were held in all provinces, cities and municipalities. Executive posts were elected by the plurality system, while elections for the membership of the local legislatures were by plurality-at-large voting.
  Each local legislature has three ex officio members. The federation presidents each of Liga ng mga Barangay (barangay chairmen), Sangguniang Kabataan (youth council chairmen), and for Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial boards), the chapter presidents of the Sangguniang Bayan (municipal council) and Sangguniang Panlungsod (city council) (city and municipal councilors). The ex officio presiding officer of each local legislature is the chief executive's deputy, but that person only votes to break ties.
  The federation presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan were elected from the membership who won in the 2016 elections until December 2017, when they were replaced by appointees of the president, who voted among themselves who shall represent them. A barangay election, originally scheduled for October 2016, is postponed until 2018, to replace these appointees starting in December 2018.
