Ronald dela Rosa and Bong Go 2022 presidential campaigns

These were senators Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa and Christopher "Bong" Go who had non-simultaneous presidential campaigns.

[5] Dela Rosa's bid was unexpected,[5] but he insist that this has been a plan of PDP–Laban but was kept a secret as part of his party's "strategy".

While he is formally running under a different party, he vowed to continue to the plans of incumbent President Duterte's administration.

[17] Go announced his intention to withdraw his candidacy on November 30, 2021, leaving his party PDP–Laban with no formal candidate for the presidency.

Go said he would not want President Duterte to be "trapped", for him to contribute to the chief executive's problems and also added that his family was also against his bid.

[19] On December 14, 2021, two weeks after he announced his intention to withdraw, Go formally withdrew his candidacy by personally lodging it at the COMELEC's main office in Manila.

Incumbent president of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte was set to run for senator under the same party as Go, but withdrew his candidacy on December 14.
