Spouse of the president of the Philippines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of spouses of presidents of the Philippines.

Liza Araneta Marcos, the wife of President Bongbong Marcos.

Customarily, the wife or husband of the president held the title of First Lady or First Gentleman serving functional role at the Malacañang Palace.[citation needed] Hence the titles are also erroneously used to refer to the president's spouse.

Three spouses, that of Elpidio Quirino, Diosdado Macapagal and Corazon Aquino, were already deceased at the start of their respective partner's presidencies although Macapagal was married to his second wife at the start of his presidency.

Benigno Aquino III is the only unmarried president.
