List of multilingual presidents of the Philippines

Of the seventeen presidents of the Philippines, a number have shown proficiency in languages other than English and Tagalog (which would later become the basis of the national language, Filipino). Of these, only one, Emilio Aguinaldo, was not proficient in English during his tenure, although he, along with a number of other presidents, was proficient in Spanish, a widespread language of the Philippines during his time.
