The2025 Philippine Senate election was the 35thelection of members to theSenate of the Philippines. It was held on May 12, 2025, within the2025 Philippine general election. The seats of the 12 senators elected in2019 were contested in this election. The senators who will be elected in this election will serve until 2031, joining the winners of the2022 election to form the Senate's delegation to the20th Congress of the Philippines, with the senators elected in 2022 serving until 2028.
The election was shaped by several key issues, including employment and food security, concerns over the quality of public services such as healthcare, water, and education, and the demand for stronger anti-corruption measures and government accountability.[1][2][3] Additionally, theimpeachment of vice presidentSara Duterte and thearrest of former presidentRodrigo Duterte heightened political tensions, particularly between the Marcos and Duterte families.[4]
The rulingadministration of presidentBongbong Marcos formed theAlyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas, composed of thePartido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP),Lakas,Nacionalista,National Unity Party (NUP), and theNationalist People's Coalition (NPC), to contest the election. ThePartido Demokratiko Pilipino, aligned with former president Duterte and the vice president, endorsedDuterTen. In the traditional opposition,Bam Aquino andFrancis Pangilinan ran together under theLiberal-backedKiBam umbrella, whereasMakabayan fielded a full slate branded as the Oposisyon ng Bayan.[5] The Alyansa won six seats against the DuterTen's three, plus two guest candidates, while both KiBam candidates won.
In the Senate presidential election,Francis Escudero defeated fellow NPC memberTito Sotto to keep the Senate presidency.
In the 2022 election, theUniTeam, backing thecandidacies of eventual presidentBongbong Marcos and vice presidentSara Duterte, won a plurality of seats in theSenate of the Philippines.[6][7] Leading up to the opening of the19th Congress,Cynthia Villar andMigz Zubiri, both having run under UniTeam, were viewed as the frontrunners to succeedSenate PresidentTito Sotto, who left the Senate after being term-limited.[a][8][9][10] After Zubiri presumptively earned enough votes to be elected Senate president and negotiations for a term-sharing agreement failed, Villar withdrew from the contest, leaving Zubiri unopposed for the Senate presidency.[11][12]
Zubiri's term as Senate president was marked by speculation of efforts to unseat him. Such speculation was confirmed by SenatorImee Marcos, who stated that there were plans to oust Zubiri from the Senate presidency, attributing such efforts to pressure that "came from outside the Senate".[13] On May 20, 2024, Zubiri resigned the Senate presidency after 15 senators expressed their support to oust him from the post.[14][15][16] SenatorFrancis Escudero was nominated as his successor and was elected without objection.[17][18]
While in government after UniTeam's large victories in the election,[19] Duterte remarked that the UniTeam had already "served its purpose" but claimed that the alliance was still "intact".[20] Followingmounting tensions between the Marcos and Duterte political clans, Duterte resigned from her roles asSecretary of Education and co-vice chairperson of theNational Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict.[21][22] Political observers saw Duterte's resignation from her positions in the Marcos administration as a confirmation of the collapse of the UniTeam. Some labeled Duterte as a potential "leader of the opposition", a label that she would reject, claiming that she was "still friends" with Marcos.[23][24]
Political scientistJulio C. Teehankee observed that a broad united coalition is unlikely to form in 2025 given that theLiberal Party, the traditional political opposition since 2016, has more in common with the rulingMarcos administration and noted that "there is little value in debating" which political faction is the true opposition, noting the varied motivations for opposing an incumbent government.[25]
The Philippines has a 24-member Senate electedat-large. Every three years since 1995, 12 seats are contested. For 2025, the seats last elected in 2019 will be contested. Each voter has 12 votes, of which one can vote for one to twelve candidates, or amultiple non-transferable vote; the twelve candidates with the most votes are elected.
Senators arelimited to serving two consecutive terms, although they are eligible for a third (and succeeding) non-consecutive term.[26] Onlyhalf of the seats are up in every senatorial election.[27] The winning senators will succeed thoseelected in 2019, and will join thoseelected in 2022 to form the20th Congress.
Each party or coalition endorses aslate of candidates, typically not exceeding a 12-personticket.[28] A party may also choose to invite "guest candidates" to complete its slate.[29] The party may even include, with the candidates' consent,independent candidates and candidates from other parties as the party's guest candidates. Parties also may form coalitions to endorse a multi-party slate of candidates.
Winning candidates are proclaimed by theCommission on Elections (COMELEC), sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC). The NBOC usually proclaims senators-elect by batches, if that candidate can no longer fall to worse than twelfth place in the tally. Post-proclamation disputes are handled by theSenate Electoral Tribunal, a body composed of six senators and three justices from theSupreme Court.
In both chambers of Congress, members are organized into "blocs", akin toparliamentary groups elsewhere. In keeping with the traditions of the Third Philippine Republic which was under atwo-party system, there are two main blocs, the majority and minority blocs; this is although the country is now in amulti-party system. Those who voted for the Senate president are from the majority bloc, while those who did not (if there are more than two candidates for the Senate presidency) will vote amongst themselves on who will be the minority bloc. Those who belong to neither bloc shall be the independent minority bloc. Members can also be from the independent bloc.[30] Each bloc can have members from multiple parties. Only the majority and minority blocs have voting privileges in committees.
In the19th Congress, the majority bloc is composed of members who voted for Escudero for Senate president.[31][32]

This section describes the events prior to the campaign period.
On May 8, 2024, thePartido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) andLakas–CMD signed an alliance agreement at theManila Polo Club inMakati to form theAlyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas (English:Alliance for the New Philippines) for the 2025 general elections.[33] House SpeakerMartin Romualdez remarked that the formation of the alliance created the "most powerful political force in our country today", noting the positioning of the PFP as thede facto ruling party in the country and Lakas' status as the largest political party in theHouse of Representatives.[34]
Romualdez also implied that the coalition plans to include "all major parties",[35] including theNacionalista Party, which began negotiations with the alliance on July 2.[36][37] President Marcos remarked that the alliance aims to be based "not on political expediency but on ideology" that focuses on unity and a new Philippines.[38] Two parties would sign alliance agreements with the coalition: theNationalist People's Coalition on May 19,[39] and theNational Unity Party on June 29.[40] The Nacionalista Party formally entered the coalition on August 8.[41]
On May 10, former SenatorManny Pacquiao announced his senatorial candidacy as a member of the alliance while remaining a member ofPROMDI.[42][43] Reelectionist SenatorImee Marcos, the sister of the president and PFP chairman, noted that she was unsure of her inclusion in the coalition, though the entry of the Nacionalista Party in the alliance ensured her inclusion in its ticket.[44][36] Party leaders under the alliance met on August 19; on the same day,Erwin Tulfo noted that the administration "still has no final senatorial lineup".[45]
On September 26, President Marcos announced the administration's twelve senatorial bets during an event at thePhilippine International Convention Center inPasay.[46] AlthoughImee Marcos, the president's sister, was introduced as part of the slate, she stated that she would not be joining the slate and would instead be running as an independent.[47] Despite her statement, she was never formally dropped from the slate, and was even shown campaigning with the alliance at the start of the campaign season.[48]
At the party's national council held on April 19, 2024, at theNustar Resort and Casino inCebu City, former PresidentRodrigo Duterte endorsed the reelection bids of incumbent SenatorsRonald dela Rosa,Bong Go, andFrancis Tolentino (who later left to join Alyansa), as well as the bid of actorPhillip Salvador as part of the party's slate for the election.[49] PDP–Laban also renamed itself into the "Partido Demokratiko Pilipino", dropping the "Lakas ng Bayan" from its name.[50] On June 26, Vice PresidentSara Duterte confirmed the elder Duterte's bid for the Senate, along with that of her brothersPaolo Duterte, the incumbent representative forDavao City's 1st district, andSebastian Duterte, the incumbentmayor of Davao City.[51][52]
In response to the possibility of an alliance between the ruling Marcos administration and the Liberal Party, dela Rosa affirmed that the Dutertes would lead the opposition in such case.[53] On September, at the PDP national assembly, the party formed an alliance withPartido para sa Demokratikong Reporma,Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan and the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee.[54]
During the filing of candidacies, Rodrigo Duterte ran as mayor of Davao City, his sonSebastian running as vice mayor, and another sonPaolo running for representative from Davao City's 1st district.[55] Meanwhile, Go, dela Rosa, and Salvador jointly filed to run for senator.[56] Duterte administration officialsRaul Lambino andJimmy Bondoc also filed their candidacies to run for senator also under PDP.[57] In a January 30, 2025 meeting at Davao City, former president Duterte endorsed all PDP senatorial candidates, includingJayvee Hinlo, and independentsApollo Quiboloy andRodante Marcoleta.[58] On the proclamation rally held atSan Juan, the party endorsed all eight aforementioned candidates, and independent candidateVic Rodriguez, President Marcos's erstwhilead interimexecutive secretary and former campaign spokesperson.[59]
In the2022 Senate election, senatorRisa Hontiveros ofAkbayan became the only candidate of the oppositionTeam Robredo–Pangilinan (TRoPa) to be re-elected.[b] After vice presidentLeni Robredo left office, she became thede facto leader of the opposition against Marcos and Duterte.[60][61] Hontiveros joined the Senate's minority bloc alongsideKoko Pimentel. She rose into prominence as she led investigations againstPhilippine offshore gaming operators.[62][63]
At a forum of the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines on February 22, 2024,Liberal Party spokesperson and former senatorLeila de Lima announced that the party plans to field former senatorsBam Aquino andFrancis Pangilinan (nicknamed "Kiko"), as well as human rights lawyerChel Diokno of theKatipunan ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino (KANP), as its senatorial candidates in the upcoming election.[64][65] Aquino confirmed his bid for the Senate on May 14 after being appointed as the chairman of KANP.[66] While formervice president and2022 presidential candidateLeni Robredo was floated as a possible candidate, Robredo ruled out a bid for the Senate and instead announced a run for the mayoralty ofNaga, Camarines Sur,[67][68] though the party remained keen in drafting Robredo for its Senate ticket.[69]
Former SenatorAntonio Trillanes, who ran under TRoPa in the 2022 election, proposed that the Liberal Party and its allies "set aside sensitivities for a larger cause" and align with the Marcos administration in the Senate race to ensure "obliteration of the Duterte forces".[70] Party presidentEdcel Lagman was also open to such arrangement.[71] Political pundits suggest that such a coalition would provide the opposition with more resources during the campaign but may alienate "many groups in the opposition camp who are ideologically opposed to any alliance with other political groups".[72] De Lima disapproved of Trillanes' proposal, emphasizing the need to adhere to the party's principles as a political opposition and identity as "the alternative to the Marcos bloc and the Duterte bloc".[73] SenatorRisa Hontiveros concurred with de Lima, stating that while she respects Trillanes's proposition, such an alliance would not form a "genuine opposition".[74]
On September 20, the Liberal Party announced Pangilinan's candidacy for senator.[75][76] Aquino and Pangilinan then launched their "Mga Kaibigan" (Friends) campaign on October 16 at the Bahay ng Alumni at theUniversity of the Philippines Diliman, with Hontiveros serving as their campaign manager.[77] At a campaign event in Bulacan, in November 2024, their campaign adopted the name "KiBam", a portmanteau of their names.[78]
In an interview during the commemoration of the 42nd anniversary of theAlliance of Concerned Teachers on June 26, 2024, term-limited RepresentativeFrance Castro announced her bid for the Senate in response to open letters from teachers encouraging her to seek a seat in the chamber in 2025.[79][80] Castro added that theMakabayan coalition plans to form a 12-member senate slate for the 2025 elections with the aim to form an "alternative slate" to the ruling government.[81][82] The coalition aims to field candidates from marginalized sectors and vowed not to field candidates from political dynasties or influential families.[83] Castro and RepresentativeArlene Brosas also stated that they were open to form alliances with "true opposition" groups and have entered negotiations with other opposition groups such as the Liberal Party.[84] The slate will be named as "Oposisyon ng Bayan" (transl. People's Opposition).[85] Brosas later announced her Senate bid on July 16.[86][87]
Eight more members of the Makabayan senatorial slate independently announced their candidacies in July and August 2024, including former representativesTeodoro Casiño andLiza Maza and leaders from various sectoral grassroots organizations.[88] Makabayan formally announced its ten-member senatorial slate on August 26, during itsNational Heroes Day event at theLiwasang Bonifacio in Manila.[89] On September 24,Moro activistAmirah Lidasan announced her run as the 11th Makabayan senatorial candidate.[90] On October 4, all eleven members of its senatorial slate filed their respective candidacies.[91]

On January 14, 2025,Chavit Singson announced his withdrawal as a candidate.[130] On the same day, theSupreme Court issued temporary restraining orders preventing the COMELEC from excluding certain aspirants on the ballot, including senatorial aspirant Subair Mustapha.[131] The COMELEC acquiesced to the court's order, and ordered the reprinting of ballots that did not have Mustapha's name on the ballot.[132] Singson made his withdrawal official on January 16; the COMELEC then decided to remove his name on the ballot, as they would have to reprint new ballots anyway.[133] On January 21, the Supreme Court released more injunctions, including addingFrancis Leo Marcos on the ballot as a senatorial candidate.[134] Marcos himself withdrew on January 23.[135] The COMELEC then reprinted ballots on January 27, still with 66 names, but with Mustapha's name on it, and without Marcos' and Singson's names.[136]
On February 10, at the eve of campaigning,WIlbert T. Lee withdrew, citing lack of political machinery as the reason.[137] The commission, after receiving Lee's withdrawal said the printing of ballots will not be affected as Lee would remain on the ballot, and votes for him will be considered asstray votes.[138] On February 13,Willie Ong also announced his withdrawal, citing ill health.[139] Ong's wife Liza filed paperwork to make her husband's official on February 21.[140]

On February 5, the final session day before Congress goes on recess for campaigning, the House of Representativesimpeached Vice President Sara Duterte.[214] The Senate then received the articles of impeachment later in the day, an hour or so before the Senate went on recess.[215]
The following were the personnel of each slate:
| Slate | Campaign manager |
|---|---|
| Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas | Toby Tiangco, House representative fromNavotas's at-large district[216] |
| DuterTen | Robin Padilla, senator[216] |
| KiBam | Risa Hontiveros, senator[217] |
| Oposisyon ng Bayan | Renato Reyes, chairman ofBagong Alyansang Makabayan[218] |
At the start of the campaign period, the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas held a proclamation rally at the Ilocos Norte Centennial Arena inLaoag,Ilocos Norte.[219] In this rally, President Marcos took jabs at some opposition candidates, saying "parang 'yung mga iba na naging kandidato eh nag-deliver lang yata ng suka eh nabigyan na ng certificate of candidacy" (transl. some looked like they just delivered vinegar but yet was given a certificate of candidacy), with "suka" referring tovinegar), as opposed to their slate's candidates' track record for public service.[220]
Bam Aquino and Francis Pangilinan held their proclamation rally at Dasmariñas Arena inDasmariñas,Cavite, together withAkbayan andMamamayang Liberal partylists.[221][222] On February 11, Aquino maintained that theirKiBam slate is an "independent slate" and not an "opposition" one,[223] Makabayan held their proclamation rally at theLiwasang Bonifacio in Manila.[224] Quiboloy also held a proclamation rally at theYnares Sports Arena inPasig, attended by some PDP candidates.[225]
On February 13, PDP also held their proclamation rally at theClub Filipino inSan Juan.[226][227] On that proclamation rally, Duterte joked "Let's just kill incumbent senators so there will be vacancies. If we can kill 15 senators, we can all get in."[228] On the same proclamation rally, Ronald dela Rosa, in response to President Marcos's "suka comments", said that their slate should be called "Team Suka", and that vinegar vendors should not stop oneself from dreaming big.[229] Also in response to allegations that he is a "pro-China" candidate, dela Rosa said "I am eager to wage war there in theWest Philippine Sea"[230] This is also after fellow PDP slate memberRodante Marcoleta said that "There is not—there is nothing as" the West Philippine Sea.[231] Marcoleta reversed his statements on February 13, saying "I am not saying it is wrong for us to call [it the] West Philippine Sea, because I said, with or without name, that particular area is ours".[232]
On their proclamation rally at theBantayog ng mga Bayani inQuezon City, the Partido Lakas ng Masa, in reference to President Marcos's "suka comments", decried the latter's candidates on not showing up for debates. Leody de Guzman labeled the administration's candidates as cowards, while Luke Espiritu called Marcos's statement as arrogant.[127] TheWorkers' and Peasants' Party started their campaign at Manila.[129]
Ariel Querubin, a retired marine colonel, and1-Rider House representativeBonifacio Bosita, a retired police lieutenant colonel, announced their alliance on February 17, calling themselves the "Riding-in-tandem Team".[128]

On March 11,former president Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on basis of a warrant from theInternational Criminal Court (ICC) coursed viaInterpol.[233] Duterte was arrested at theNinoy Aquino International Airport, after returning to the country after an election rally atHong Kong.[234] Senate PresidentFrancis Escudero urged due process from the ICC and called for restraint, warning against using Duterte's arrest for political gain ahead of the election.[235] Reelectionist Imee Marcos, criticized the political divisions, saying Duterte's arrest only creates "chaos" and questioning whether it benefits ordinary Filipinos. She also expressed sympathy, noting his age.[236] Marcos skipped a campaign rally inTacloban in protest of Duterte's arrest.[237] She then asked the Senate to conduct an investigation on the manner how Duterte was arrested.[238]
Makabayan candidateArlene Brosas called it "a glimpse of hope" for the victims' families,[239] while fellow Makabayan candidateFrance Castro described it as "a concrete step towards accountability and justice" for victims ofhuman rights abuses.[240] PLM candidateLuke Espiritu expressed strong support for Duterte's arrest, accusing the former president of severely damaging the nation's values and character, and calling the arrest "just".[241] A rally protesting Duterte's arrest and asked for his return to the Philippines was held at theLiwasang Bonifacio, attended by PDP candidates.[242]
Meanwhile, dela Rosa asked for the Senate to provide him protection in case the ICC issues a warrant for him. Escudero said "the Senate will not allow any of its members to be arrested within the Senate, especially during a session."[243] Dela Rosa initially said that once the Senate's protection on him ends, he would have surrendered peacefully, saying he will not engage in a gunfight with the arresting team.[244] However, a day later, he said that he is mulling on hiding from the authorities instead of surrendering.[245]

On the Senate hearing regarding former president Duterte's arrest, Senator Marcos, who was the chair ofSenate Foreign Relations Committee, said that Duterte's rights were violated as he was not given the chance to subject the ICC warrant via judicial review, and that Duterte was not given a physical copy of the warrant of arrest. Anthony Alcantara, executive director of the Philippine Center on Transnational Crime, said that they did not receive ared notice from Interpol, but instead a red diffusion, or a "wanted person notice".Jesus Crispin Remulla, the Secretary of Justice, invoked the commitment of the Philippines to Interpol and following Republic Act No. 9851, the law punishing crimes against humanity. Remulla refuted Marcos's pronouncements that ICC lacked jurisdiction as the Philippine justice system was working, pointing out that relatives of victims of extrajudicial killings found it impossible to file cases on local courts due to lack of police reports, and due to inaction from fiscals.[246] On subsequent Alyansa rallies, President Marcos omitted his sister's name in his speeches.[247]
Vice President Duterte then later endorsed ten candidates: the nine candidates on the PDP slate, andRichard Mata, but not Senator Marcos. The PDP slate then adopted the nameDuterTen, aportmanteau of "Duterte" and "ten", the number of candidates on their senatorial ticket).[248] Imee Marcos then left Alyansa on March 26, 2025.[124] On the findings released by the committee led by Marcos, it found that the Philippines had "no obligation to arrest Duterte and turn him over to the ICC, that the Philippine government decided to arrest Duterte, and that Duterte's rights were violated.[249] Marcos then later said that "I'm not paying attention to it" on rumors that the DuterTen ticket was planning to adopt her[250]
On his first appearance since the arrest of Rodrigo Duterte,Ronald dela Rosa attended the second hearing of the foreign relations committee. Government officials skipped the meeting, citingexecutive privilege. In the hearing, Dela Rosa montioned to issuesubpoenas to missing cabinet members; Senate PresidentFrancis Escudero did not issue subpoenas to the hearing.[251] On the third hearing attended by government officials, Markus Lacanilao, Special Envoy on Transnational Crimes, was cited incontempt of Congress by the committee. Escudero refused to sign the contempt order, releasing Lacanilao from the Senate's custody. Dela Rosa motioned Lacanilao to be cited in contempt, after dela Rosa accused him of lying during the hearing.[252] Escudero issued a statement saying that Marcos "to refrain from using the Senate as a platform for her own personal political objectives".Jesus Crispin Remulla, the justice secretary, said that they did not attend the second hearing as they anticipated that the senators would bully them and pressure them on making admissions.[253]
On April 13, SenatorRobin Padilla, also president of Partido Demokratiko Pilipino, endorsed Marcos.[254] A day later, Sara Duterte releases a political advertisement endorsing Imee Marcos, with both women clad in black clothing.[255] The government decried the advertisement, calling it as "fake news", calling the Duterte administration being "black" as the one having best describing the advertisement.[256] A week later, Duterte appeared on another political advertisement endorsingCamille Villar.[257] Later that week, the COMELEC summoned Villar for allegedvote buying inCavite. Villar denied that the incident was illegal, having occurred on February 9, two days before the campaign period.[258] Despite this, Toby Tiangco, Alyansa's campaign manager, maintained that Villar was still a part of the slate.[259] Villar then skipped a campaign sortie with her fellow Alyansa candidates inDagupan, saying that she was sick.[260]
A week after Duterte's endorsement of Villar,Bulacan vice governorAlex Castro appealed to the Senate to investigatePrimeWater's alleged appalling service. PrimeWater is a water management service owned by the Villars. Castro cited issues inSan Jose del Monte, where the local government sued the company to terminate their 25-year joint venture agreement that was signed in 2018. Bulacan governorDaniel Fernando, citing instances where communities have no running water for days on weekends, and exorbitant water bills, described it as "very poor" service.[261] On April 30, presidential spokespersonClaire Castro (no relation to the vice governor) said the president will order an investigation on PrimeWater.[262]
Despite this, while Alyansa backed the government on investigating PrimeWater, they maintained that Villar is still a part of their slate.[263] The government and several Alyansa candidates denied Sara Duterte's allegations that the investigations on PrimeWater were politically motivated, with it having 73 joint ventures with local water districts around the country. The Local Water Utilities Administration began its investigation on PrimeWater on May 2.[264] Meanwhile, on a rally atBatangas City, President Marcos did not endorse Villar.[265]
On a rally atQuezon City,Honeylet Avanceña, Rodigo Duterte's domestic partner, and their daughter Kitty Duterte, campaigned for ablock vote the DuterTen slate.[266] Kitty's statement of "I am here now because they took from us, from all of us, most of all from me, my father… Instead of addressing crime, corruption, and poverty, this administration is prioritizing ruining my family and all of its allies," was roasted in social media.[267]
At a later rally inMalolos, despite Villar's absence, President Marcos endorsed the latter, after not being mentioned in prior rallies in Batangas City andDumajug.[268] The COMELEC dismissed the vote-buying case against Villar, confirming the incident, which involved giving cash prizes to rallygoers, indeed occurred prior to the campaigning period, despite it being posted on social media after the campaign period began.[269]
On May 8, the Partido Demokratko Pilipino held theirmiting de avance at theLiwasang Bonifacio inManila.[270] PDP candidates exhorted the people to support the Dutertes.[271] In the rally, Sara Duterte said that she is "not the problem of the Philippines. A Duterte is not the problem of the Philippines."[272] The Alyansa ended their campaign at theirmiting de avance in Nueve de Pebrero Street inMandaluyong on May 9; Villar was still absent.[273] Villar instead attended themiting de avance of the localNacionalista Party in her hometown ofLas Piñas.[274]Makabayan held theirmiting de avance inTomas Morato Avenue,Quezon City on the same day.[275] Themiting de avance ofHugpong sa Tawong Lungsod of the Dutertes in Davao City was attended by most of the DuterTen candidates.[276]
Also on the same day, theIglesia ni Cristo released its list of endorsements for eight senatorial candidates.[277] Meanwhile, theCatholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines labeled that neither they nor CardinalPablo Virgilio David endorsed any candidates in any position, denouncing circulating social media posts as "fake news".[278] David also said that Filipinos "can treat the election of a leader as a sacred moment", comparing the election to then just-concludedpapal conclave.[279]
On May 10, the KiBam ticket attended the localLiberal Partymiting de avance inNaga, hosted by mayoral candidate and defeated 2022 presidential candidateLeni Robredo.[280] Just before the end of the campaign period, Marcos and Villar were officially added as guest candidates of DuterTen.[125]
TheCommission on Elections (COMELEC), sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC) expected to proclaim the winners at least a week after election.[281] The NBOC first convened on May 13, a day after the election, to canvass the local absentee voting results.[282]Rodante Marcoleta called on to the COMELEC to make a partial proclamation of at least then top six candidates,[283] which the commission refused, maintaining that it will proclaim all twelve winners together by Saturday after the election at the earliest.[284] The commission canvassed 159 certificates of canvass by Wednesday after the election, on what was said to be record speed, leaving just 16 certificates.[285] On May 15, the NBOC finished canvassing the votes.[286] The winning senators were proclaimed on May 17, with all candidates except forFrancis Pangilinan attending.[287]
TheAlyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas secured six seats. None of their candidates cracked the top three, withErwin Tulfo finishing at fourth place. The sixth Alyansa candidate,Camille Villar, was also added as a guest candidate by theDuterTen.[288] For the DuterTen ticket,Bong Go, Marcoleta andRonald dela Rosa won, with Go topping the nationwide vote.[289] Marcoleta relied on the Duterte stronghold of Mindanao, being in the top six in at least three provinces there.[290] Both candidates in theKiBam ticket won, withBam Aquino ranking second and Pangilinan fifth. Aquino emerged as the topnotcher in at least 23 provinces, mostly in Luzon, while Pangilinan was in the top six in at least 23 provinces.[291]Imee Marcos, also a guest candidate of the DuterTen, clinched the last spot in the top 12, based primarily on voters from theSolid North or from theIlocano heartland.[292]
Five senators, Go, dela Rosa, Cayetano, Lapid, and Marcos, successfully defended their seats. Meanwhile, four are returning to the Senate (Aquino, Pangilinan, Lacson, and Sotto), while three are neophytes that were serving out the remainder of their terms as House representatives (Tulfo, Marcoleta, and Villar).[115] Sotto was elected for a fifth senatorial term, the first Filipino senator to have done so.[293] Incumbent senatorsBong Revilla andFrancis Tolentino failed to defend their seats, placing 14th and 25th, respectively.

On the day after the election, PresidentBongbong Marcos invited election winners, "I extend my hand. Let us move forward together."[294] Later, on Alyansa's thanksgiving party, Marcos further stated "We all wish we had better results, but you know, we live to fight another day. But now it's time, I think, to put all the politics aside, it's time to put all of the issues that were raised during the election, and only talk about not political issues but developmental issues".[295]Toby Tiangco, Alyansa's campaign manager, said "we consider the victory of most of our candidates a vote of confidence in theBagong Pilipinas".[296]
Vice PresidentSara Duterte expressed disappointment at the results, stating that “the outcome was not what we had hoped for.” Duterte encouraged the public to support their efforts in “building a powerful and principled opposition.”[297] The result of the election is also expected to have an effect on her ongoingimpeachment. Meanwhile, Senator and opposition leaderRisa Hontiveros, who also served as KiBam's campaign manager, declared a strengthened opposition bloc in Congress with the electoral victory of the KiBam tandem and the concurrent success of allied party-list groups in the lower house.[298] The win also marked a comeback for the Aquino family.[5]
Panfilo Lacson, after the initial results were known, blamed the failure of the administration'spolitical machinery on why the Alyansa did not win more seats. Lacson remarked that the biggest beneficiaries of 'DuterTen' and 'Alyansa Minus Two' were Bam Aquino and Kiko Pangilinan".[299]Ronald Llamas, a political analyst, said that the election was a vote against the administration, instead of a vote in favor of the Dutertes.[300] Former House representativeBarry Gutierrez blamed Tiangco for Alyansa's underperformance, saying that "[Toby] Tiangco failed to deliver. And now, he's pointing fingers".[301]
Detained candidateApollo Quiboloy, who at the time ranked 31st, called for a manual recount of votes due to "numerous reports of overvoting anomalies, inconsistencies in ballot readings, and other electoral irregularities."[302] Seven of the DuterTen candidates (those who were losing) repeated Quiboloy's calls for a manual recount, saying they'd file a motion for a manual recount of votes, but would not push for the suspension of the proclamation of winners.[303] COMELEC spokesperson Rex Laudiangco later remarked that the only way for a manual recount to be done is for Quiboloy to file an election protest.[304] The COMELEC later stated that the law does not have provisions on manual recounting of votes save for random manual audits, although Garcia said that the law may need to be revisited. As they had also proclaimed the winners, he said the COMELEC no longer has jurisdiction, but to theSenate Electoral Tribunal.[305]
On Independence Day, Sara Duterte said that three DuterTen candidates were cheated. In a gathering at Kuala Lumpur, Duterte said that Jayvee Hinlo, Richard Mata and Jimmy Bondoc were cheated in the election. Duterte, upon talking to IT experts, who said that "it was impossible that the numbers that came out are true".[306] Later that month, PDP petitioned theSupreme Court to manually recount the votes of the senatorial election.[307] The commission welcomed the petition.[308]
Election winners Aquino, Marcoleta, and Pangilinan did not figure well in the last surveys prior to the election.[309] In contrast,Ben Tulfo,Bong Revilla, andAbigail Binay, who were often included in the top 12 candidates in the surveys, were not able to win. Alyansa underperformed, winning six seats, fewer than polls predicted, with none of the election’s top three candidates coming from the alliance. Predicted topnotcherErwin Tulfo finished fourth,Tito Sotto slipped from third to eighth,Lito Lapid fell from fourth to eleventh, andAbigail Binay andBong Revilla, who were in the top 12, finished outside the winning places.[310] The DuterTen ticket secured three seats, alongside two guest candidates. The remaining two seats went to the KiBam ticket, who defied pre-election polls and won. COMELEC chairmanGeorge Garcia said that surveys may have missed several key factors on why they missed the result. Garcia pointed out that thesampling may not have optimal, and poll respondentsmay not have been truthful in answering or had changed their minds at the last minute.
Ronald Holmes, president of thePulse Asia polling company, said that this "was the first time where we basically had movements in ranks that were quite significant," and that their last survey was conducted "three weeks before the elections—and a lot [had] happened [since] then."[311] The company also noted that the machineries of the Marcos and Duterte may have struggled to mobilize voter support, as support for the Marcos-backed Alyansa dropped in several regions in Luzon while the DuterTen underperformed in Mindanao.[312] It added that several candidates, mostly independent or progressive, received higher actual votes compared to final pre-election surveys.
Themillennials andgeneration Z comprise 60% of registered voters.[313] Cleve Arguelles of WR Numero Research said that the youth repudiated both Marcos and Duterte slates, and voted for KiBam.[314] Ana de Villa-Singson of theParish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting pointed out that surveys done in schools are substantially different from surveys done by pollsters, with the KiBam candidates being included in the top 12. Eric Alvia of theNational Citizens' Movement for Free Elections said that the voters' rejection of the Alyansa "may be a referendum on the administration's performance and satisfaction. Another factor is that it is a clear message of a strong support especially in theD/E class and Mindanao vote from Duterte et al supporters."[315]
Former Senate presidentTito Sotto revealed that at least four senators have urged him to retake the Senate presidency. The incumbent Senate president,Francis Escudero, said he would leave it to the senators on who to pick. Both Sotto and Escudero are members of theNationalist People's Coalition (NPC), with Sotto itsparty chairman.[316]
For the Duterte-aligned senators,Ronald dela Rosa observes neither of them are ambitious enough to target the Senate presidency, and said "What we're after from our bloc is to simply be treated fairly and not be ignored and treated like second class citizens. We should be on equal footing with everyone."[317] On an interview,Rodante Marcoleta did not answer the question if he is vying for the Senate presidency.[318] Dela Rosa later said that the Duterte-aligned senators have not talked about this asRobin Padilla is overseas. Dela Rosa pointed toAlan Peter Cayetano andMigz Zubiri as additional candidates for the Senate presidency.[319] Go later said that both Escudero and Sotto have discussed about the Senate presidential election to them.[320]
On May 24,Imee Marcos said that she had some senators expressing support to her if she runs for the Senate presidency. She also confirmed that she will be joining the Duterte bloc.Jinggoy Estrada, on the other hand, sees Escudero retaining the Senate presidency, and denounced rumors of him replacing Escudero as an interim Senate president on thelame-duck session, saying that "I will decline it. That is not true."[321] Later that week, Sotto explained that the president has usually not interfered with the election of the Senate president, and that the Senate had rejected the president's preferred Senate president before. Sotto also revealed that Escudero had took a leave of absence from the NPC.[322] Escudero remained as Senate president during the lame-duck session, presiding over the Senate as itadjournedsine die.[323] Alan Peter Cayetano believed that Escudero has the numbers to retain the Senate presidency in the 20th Congress.[324] Escudero, for his part, said that while he would not campaign, he would not decline if nominated.[325]
Upon the start of terms on June 30,Joel Villanueva said Escudero has at least 13 votes to win the Senate presidency, counting at least himself andErwin Tulfo.Risa Hontiveros said that while she is targetting leading the minority, she acknowledged she may not have the numbers and lead an independent bloc instead.[326] Hontiveros also said she won't join the majority bloc.[327] For his part,Tito Sotto is open to leading the minority if he loses the Senate presidential election.[328] Zubiri then said he will support Sotto for Senate president,[329] whileJV Ejercito said he prefers Escudero to be retained.[330] A week later, Estrada said that a resolution supporting Escudero to be reelected to the Senate presidency has at least 13 signatures.[331] Estrada also said that he expectsBam Aquino andKiko Pangilinan to join the majority;Risa Hontiveros had expected them to join her at least in the independent bloc.[332]
Dela Rosa announced that the seven pro-Duterte senators, whom he called as the "Duter7", are to support Esucdero. Meanwhile, Aquino clarified that he remains with the "independent bloc", along with Hontiveros and Pangilinan. Zubiri also publicly invited Hontiveros to join the "veterans bloc" who are supporting Sotto. Lacson explained that the blocs are solely based on who a senator voted for in the Senate presidential election.[333] Hontiveros later said she is open in joining the "veterans bloc".[334] Zubiri then said she is "most welcome" in joining them, with Zubiri expressing pity on Hontiveros, who after campaigning for her candidates, was now alone.[335] Dela Rosa also said that is Escudero won't run for the Senate presidency, one among the Duter7 would run instead.[336] A week later, Estrada said that "18 are in the majority. Only six did not join".[337]
At the convening of the 20th Congress, Escudero defeated Sotto, with 19 votes against 5, and with both of them voting against each other. Sotto then becameminority leader. Estrada was electedSenate presidentpro tempore, andJoel Villanueva was namedmajority leader and the chairman of theCommittee on Rules.[338]
