Oldest living Presidents of the Philippines

Not all presidents live to become the oldest of their time. Of the 11 deceased presidents, 3 eventually became the oldest of their time, while 8 did not (including all 3 presidents who died in office, and 5 others). Emilio Aguinaldo became the oldest living president when he took office in 1899 and remained so until his death in 1964, for a record 65 years and 14 days.

Fidel Ramos was the oldest to acquire this distinction at the age of 69 years, and 34 days. Sergio Osmeña, who was 83 years, and 40 days old when he died on 19 October 1961 was the oldest president to die without ever acquiring this distinction. Corazon Aquino, who died on 1 August 2009, at the age of 76 years and 188 days old is the most recent president to die without ever acquiring this distinction.
