Legislative and local elections were held in thePhilippines on May 14, 2007. Positions contested included half the seats in theSenate, which are elected for six-year terms, and all the seats in theHouse of Representatives, who were elected for three-year terms. The duly elected legislators of the 2007 elections joined the elected senators of the2004 elections to comprise the14th Congress of the Philippines.
Most representatives won seats by being elected directly, the constituency being a geographical district of about 250,000 voters. There were 220 seats in total for all the legislative districts.
Some representatives were elected under a party-list system. Only parties representing marginalized groups were allowed to run in the party-list election. To gain one seat, a party must win 2% of the vote. No party-list party may have more than 3 seats. After the election, in a controversial decision, theCommission on Elections (COMELEC) changed how it allocates the party-list seats. Under the new formula only one party will have the maximum 3 seats. It based its decision on a formula contained in a Supreme Court decision.
Local elections for governor, vice governor, provincial board seats and mayoral, vice mayoral and city/municipal council seats inMetro Manila and the provinces were up for grabs as well.
Sen.Richard J. Gordon and his fellow Senators succeeded in passingRepublic Act No. 9369 or theAmending the Election Modernization Act but it was too late since it was passed three months before the elections but since the law was passed, the automated elections were instead implemented in the Philippines the following year on August 11, 2008 with2008 ARMM election and later adopted to thenational level two years later in May 10, 2010 after preparations of the latter were made from 2009 to 2010.
