The Office of the President of the Philippines was abolished after the capture of Aguinaldo, and ceased to be until the inauguration of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935.

Afterwards the first national elections were held on September 16, 1935, Manuel L. Quezon was elected as the second President of the Philippines and the first President of the Philippine Democracy. Originally elected to a six-twelvemonth term, President Quezon would stay in office until 1944, because the 1935 Constitution was amended in 1940 to allow reelection, only shortened the term of the President to iv years. Quezon was elected again in 1941—however, due to ramble limitations, he would have not served the full 4 years—his term started on November xv, 1935, and thus would stop on November 15, 1943.

Garcia, and Diosdado Macapagal equally the second, third, 4th, and fifth President of the Tertiary Republic and the sixth, 7th, eighth, and ninth President of the Philippines, respectively.
