Description:

It does not usually happen that both the Philippine and American presidential elections are held on the same year. This is because America elects a president every four years while the Philippines does only every six years. This means that both countries can have simultaneous presidential elections only once every 12 years. The next time both the US and the Philippines will be electing presidents on the same year will be in 2028.
