A poll has found over half of residents in the Philippines believe that the President would be violating the constitution if he runs for vice-president next year.

Up to 60 per cent of residents agree that the President’s run for the vice-presidency “violates the intention of the constitution”.

They have called for an amendment before he may run for office again.

Meanwhile only 39 per cent agree that President Rodrigo Duterte should run for the office.

Under the country’s constitution, a President can only serve for a single term of six years and cannot seek re-election.

Mr Duterte has been in office since 2016.
