President | Date of birth | Vice Presidency |
---|---|---|
Joseph Estrada | 19 April 1937 | 1992–1998 |
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo | 5 April 1947 | 1998–2001 |

The list is in descending order and is correct as of 27 January 2021. The longest-lived vice president was Fernando Lopez (1904–1993), who died at the age of 89 years, 43 days. The oldest living former vice president, Teofisto Guingona (born 4 July 1928), had already tied Lopez on August 16, 2017, and also he also surpassed the longevity becoming the longest lived vice president when he turned 90 on July 4, 2018. The second oldest living former vice president, Joseph Estrada (born April 19, 1937), will also tie Lopez if he lives to June 1, 2026.
To account for the different number of leap days within the life of each vice president, two measure of longevity are given. The first is the number of whole years the president lived, and the number of days past their last birthday. The second list the total number of days lived by the president, accounting for differing numbers of leap years within the lifespans of different presidents.
Only one Philippine vice president has lived past 90 years of age. The first to do so, Teofisto Guingona, Jr., held the distinction of being the oldest living vice president since 2003 and longest-lived since 2017.
