Presidential elections, National Assembly elections and local elections were held on September 15, 1935 in the Philippines. This was the first election since the enactment of the Tydings–McDuffie Act that paved the way for a transitory government. Senate President Manuel Luis Quezon won against revolutionary President Emilio Aguinaldo. His election victory came after Aguinaldo was accused of taking bribes from the Spaniards when he went into exile in Hong Kong. Another contender was Gregorio Aglipay, founder and supreme bishop of the Iglesia Filipina Indepediente (Philippine Independent Church). Quezon's running mate Senate President Pro Tempore Sergio Osmeña won as Vice President of the Philippines.
