Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte won in Davao del Sur in a huge landslide. Duterte defeated DILG Secretary Mar Roxas, Senator Grace Poe, Vice president Jejomar Binay, and Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago in the presidential race by a huge margin.

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano also won Davao del Sur in the vice presidential race and defeated fellow senator Bongbong Marcos, Camarines Sur representative Leni Robredo, fellow senators Francis Escudero, Gregorio Honasan, and Antonio Trillanes.

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.[1]
