Presidential, legislative and local elections were held on November 14, 1961, in the Philippines. Incumbent President Carlos P. Garcia lost his opportunity for a second full term as President of the Philippines to Vice President President Diosdado Macapagal. His running mate, Senator Gil J. Puyat lost to Senator Emmanuel Pelaez. Independent Candidate Cebu City Mayor Sergio Osmeña, Jr. ran for vice president also lost by a narrow margin. Six candidates ran for president, four of whom were "nuisance" candidates. This was the only election in Philippine electoral history in which a vice-president defeated the incumbent president.
