Mar Roxas 2016 presidential campaign

The 2016 presidential campaign of Manuel "Mar" Roxas II, former Senator of the Philippines and former Secretary of the Interior and Local Government was announced on July 31, 2015. At an event dubbed as "A Gathering of Friends", Mar Roxas formally accepted his party's nomination as the Liberal Partystandard bearer after he was officially endorsed by President Benigno Aquino III in the presence of their political allies at the Club Filipino.

Roxas later placed second in the election, losing to Rodrigo Duterte.

In 2009, it was also in Club Filipino that Roxas had announced his decision to withdraw from the 2010 presidential election and give way to Aquino's presidential bid. Aquino also announced his candidacy there on September 9, 2009. On the same day as the announcement, Roxas formally launched his campaign website. As an erstwhile candidate for president and eventual candidate for vice president as Aquino's running mate, Roxas' candidacy in 2016 was his second attempt at running for higher office.
