What occurs if the President dies, resigns, or is removed during their term?
If the President is unable to complete their term due to death or resignation, a successor is named. The Vice-President shall automatically become the President of the Philippines. They will serve the remainder of the unexpired term of their predecessor. This ensures a stable and immediate transition of executive power. Article VII Section 8 1987 Philippine Constitution “SECTION 8. In case of death, permanent disability, removal from office, or resignation of the President, the Vice-President shall become the President to serve the unexpired term.” 03-Feb-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
