The Vice President of the Philippines (Filipino: Pangalawang Pangulo ng Pilipinas, informally referred to as VPOTP) is the second-highest executive official of the government of the Philippines, after the President. The Vice President currently holds office at the Quezon City Reception House in Quezon City. Previously, the Vice President of the Philippines held office at the Coconut Palace (located in the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex), the Philippine National Bank Financial Center, and the Philippine International Convention Center (also located in the CCP Complex), all in Pasay, Metro Manila.
Bearing similarities with the office as created in the 1935 Constitution before that Constitution was abolished by the Marcos regime, the current office of the Vice President was re-established under the 1987 Constitution.
Leni Robredo from Camarines Sur assumed the office on June 30, 2016 as the 14th and current vice president.
The official title of the office in Filipino is Pangalawang Pangulo, although Bise Presidente, derived from Spanish, is the usual title used in some of the major Philippine languages, such as Cebuano.
The text of the 1987 Constitution refers to the person and office of the Vice-President, with a dash connecting the two words. However, the person and office is usually referred to today without the dash, as the Vice President.
