1965 Philippine general election

Presidential, legislative and local elections were held on November 9, 1965, in the Philippines.

His running mate, Senator Gerardo Roxas lost to former Vice President Fernando Lopez.

Aside from the general election, local plebiscites were also held on this day.

All were carried, except for the cityhood of Batangas and renaming it to "Laurel City".

In Leyva vs. COMELEC, the Supreme Court reversed COMELEC's proclamation of the cityhood of Rajah Buayan being approved, as it ruled that its implementing law decreed that the majority of the votes must be taken into account all of the registered voters, and not just those who voted.
