Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte won the province of Cebu in a landslide against DILG Secretary Mar Roxas, Senator Grace Poe, Vice president Jejomar Binay, and Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago. Duterte also won in a landslide in Cebu City and Lapu-Lapu City.

Camarines Sur representative Leni Robredo also won the province defeating Senators Alan Peter Cayetano, Bongbong Marcos, Francis Escudero, Antonio Trillanes, and Gregorio Honasan. While Robredo won in Lapu-Lapu City, Cayetano narrowly won in Cebu City and Mandaue City.

Cebu is the most vote-rich province during the election with 2,722,288 registered voters.[2]

According to the Constitution of the Philippines, the elections are held every six years after 1992, on the second Monday of May. The incumbent president is term-limited and ineligible for re-election. The incumbent vice president is eligible to run for re-election and may run for two consecutive terms. The plurality voting system is used to determine the winner: the candidate with the highest number of votes, whether or not one has a majority, wins the presidency. The vice presidential election is a separate election, is held on the same rules, and voters may split their ticket. Both winners will serve six-year terms commencing on the noon of June 30, 2016, and ending on the same day six years later.[3]
