TheHouse of Representatives (Filipino:Kapulungan ng mga Kinatawan orKamara)[a] is thelower house ofCongress, the bicamerallegislature of the Philippines, with theSenate as theupper house. The lower house is commonlyreferred to asCongress,[b] although the term collectively refers to both houses.[1]
Members of the House are officially styled asrepresentatives (mga kinatawan) and are sometimes informally calledcongressmen orcongresswomen (mga kongresista). They are elected to a three-year term and can be re-elected, but cannot serve more than three consecutive terms without an interruption of one term (e.g. serving one term in the Senatead interim). Around 80% of congressmen are district representatives, representing specific geographical areas. The20th Congress has 254congressional district representatives.[2] Party-list representatives (currently 64),[3] who make up not more than twenty percent of the total number of representatives, are elected through theparty-list system.
Aside from needing its agreement to every bill before it is sent to thepresident for signature to become law, the House of Representatives has the power to impeach certain officials and all franchise andmoney bills must originate from the lower house.
The House of Representatives is headed by theHouse speaker (ispiker). The position is currently held byBojie Dy. The speaker of the House is third in thePhilippine presidential line of succession, after thevice president and theSenate president. The official headquarters of the House of Representatives is at theBatasang Pambansa (literally "national legislature") located inBatasan Hills,Quezon City. The building is often simply calledBatasan, and the word has also become ametonym to refer to the House of Representatives.
The Philippine legislative system began in a unicameral form of government in 1898 when then President Emilio Aguinaldo established the Malolos Congress of the short-lived First Philippine Republic from 1898 to 1901.[4] The Congress’ notable achievement was the ratification of Philippine Independence when it was declared on June 12, 1898, in Kawit, Cavite.[5]
The Malolos Congress’ convened at theBarasoain Church during the subsequent inauguration of Emilio Aguinaldo and the Malolos Constitution in 1898.[6] A year prior to the establishment of the republic, the Congress approved the motion to declare war on the United States, thus beginning thePhilippine-American War which lasted from 1899 to 1901. The Malolos Congress was dissolved on April 1, 1901, following Aguinaldo's declaration of allegiance to the United States when he was captured.[7]

At the beginning ofAmerican colonial rule, from March 16, 1900, the sole nationallegislative body was thePhilippine Commission with all members appointed by thepresident of the United States. Headed by thegovernor-general of the Philippines, the body exercised all legislative authority given to it by the president and theUnited States Congress until October 1907 when it was joined by the Philippine Assembly.William Howard Taft was chosen to be the first American civilian governor-general and the first leader of this Philippine Commission, which subsequently became known as the Taft Commission.
ThePhilippine Bill of 1902, a basic law, ororganic act, of theInsular Government, mandated that once certain conditions were met abicameral, or two-chamber,Philippine Legislature would be created with the previously existing, all-appointed Philippine Commission as theupper house and thePhilippine Assembly as thelower house. This bicameral legislature was inaugurated in October 1907. Under the leadership of speakerSergio Osmeña and floor LeaderManuel L. Quezon, the rules of the59th United States Congress was substantially adopted as the rules of the Philippine Legislature. Osmeña and Quezon led theNacionalista Party, with a platform of independence from the United States, into successive electoral victories against theProgresista Party and later theDemocrata Party, which first advocated United States statehood, then opposed immediate independence.
It is this body, founded as the Philippine Assembly, that would continue in one form or another, and with a few different names, up until the present day.
In 1916, theJones Act, officially the Philippine Autonomy Act, changed the legislative system. The Philippine Commission was abolished and a new fully elected, bicameral Philippine Legislature consisting of a House of Representatives and aSenate was established. The Nacionalistas continued their electoral dominance at this point, although they were split into two factions led by Osmeña and Quezon; the two reconciled in 1924, and controlled the Assembly via a virtualdominant-party system.
The legislative system was changed again in 1935. The 1935Constitution established aunicameralNational Assembly. But in 1940, through an amendment to the 1935 Constitution, a bicameral Congress of the Philippines consisting of a House of Representatives and a Senate was adopted.
Upon the inauguration of the Republic of the Philippines in 1946, Republic Act No. 6 was enacted providing that on the date of the proclamation of the Republic of the Philippines, the existing Congress would be known as the First Congress of the Republic. The "Liberal bloc" of the Nacionalistas permanently split from their ranks, creating theLiberal Party. These two will contest all of the elections in what appeared to be atwo-party system. The party of the ruling president wins the elections in the House of Representatives; in cases where the party of the president and the majority of the members of the House of Representatives are different, a sufficient number will break away and join the party of the president, thereby ensuring that the president will have control of the House of Representatives.
This set up continued until PresidentFerdinand Marcos declaredmartial law and abolished Congress. He would rule by decree even after the 1973 Constitution abolished the bicameral Congress and created a unicameralBatasang Pambansa parliamentary system of government, as parliamentary election would not occur in1978. Marcos'Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL; New Society Movement) won all of the seats except those from theCentral Visayas ushering in an era of KBL dominance, which continued until thePeople Power Revolution overthrew Marcos in 1986.
The 1987 Constitution restored the presidential system of government together with a bicameral Congress of the Philippines. One deviation from the previous setup was the introduction of the mid-term election; however, the dynamics of the House of Representatives resumed its pre-1972 state, with the party of the president controlling the chamber, although political pluralism ensued that prevented the restoration of the old Nacionalista-Liberal two-party system. Instead, amulti-party system evolved.
Corazon Aquino who nominally had no party, supported theLaban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP; Struggle of the Democratic Filipinos). With the victory ofFidel V. Ramos in the1992 presidential election, many representatives defected to hisLakas-NUCD party; the same would happen withJoseph Estrada's victory in1998, but he lost support when he was ousted after the2001 EDSA Revolution that brought his vice presidentGloria Macapagal Arroyo to power. This also meant the restoration of Lakas-NUCD as the top party in the chamber. The same would happen whenBenigno Aquino IIIwon in 2010, which returned the Liberals into power.
The presiding officer is thespeaker. Unlike theSenate president, the speaker usually serves the entire term of Congress, although there had been instances when the speaker left office due to conflict with the president: examples includeJose de Venecia Jr.'s resignation as speaker in 2008 when his sonJoey de Venecia exposed alleged corrupt practices by first gentlemanMike Arroyo, andManny Villar's ouster which occurred after he allowed the impeachment of president Estrada in 2000.
The Philippines usesparallel voting for its lower house elections. For the 2025 elections, 318 seats in the House were contested; 254 of these are district representatives, and 64 are party-list representatives. The number of seats to be disputed may change depending on the creation of new congressional districts.
Philippine law mandates that there should be one party-list representative for every four district representatives. District representatives are elected under theplurality voting system fromsingle-member districts. Party-list representatives are elected via the nationwide vote with a 2%election threshold, with a party winning not more than three seats. The party with the most votes usually wins three seats, then the other parties with more than 2% of the vote two seats. At this point, if all of the party-list seats are not filled up, the parties with less than 2% of the vote will win one seat each until all party-list seats are filled up.
Political parties competing in the party-list election are barred from participating district elections, and vice versa, unless permitted by theCommission on Elections. Party-lists and political parties participating in the district elections may forge coalition deals with one another.
Campaigning for elections from congressional districts seats are decidedly local; the candidates are most likely a part of anelection slate that includes candidates for other positions in the locality, and slates may comprise different parties. The political parties contesting the election make no attempt to create a national campaign.
Party-list campaigning, on the other hand, is done on a national scale. Parties usually attempt to appeal to a specific demographic. Polling is usually conducted for the party-list election, while pollsters may release polls on specific district races. In district elections, pollsters do not attempt to make forecasts on how many votes a party would achieve, nor the number of seats a party would win; they do attempt to do that in party-list elections, though.
The members of the House of Representatives who are also its officers are alsoex officio members of all of thecommittees and have a vote.
On July 28, 2025, the 20th Congress of the Philippines elected among themselves their leaders. The terms of office of the officers elected are set to end on June 30, 2028.
The speaker is the head of the House of Representatives. He presides over the session; decides on all questions of order, subject to appeal by any member; signs all acts, resolutions, memorials, writs, warrants, and subpoenas issued by or upon order of the House; appoints, suspends, dismisses, or disciplines House personnel; and exercise administrative functions.
The speaker is elected by a majority of all the members of the House, including vacant seats. The speaker is traditionally elected at the convening of each congress. Before a speaker is elected, the House secretary general sits as the presiding officer until a speaker is elected. Compared to theSenate president, the unseating of an incumbent speaker is rarer.
The incumbent speaker of the House is representativeBojie Dy since September 17, 2025 following the resignation of former speakerMartin Romualdez.[8]
There was a position of speakerpro tempore for congresses prior the reorganization of the officers of the House of Representatives during the10th Congress in 1995. The speakerpro tempore was the next highest position in the House after the speaker.
The position was replaced by deputy speakers in 1995. Originally, there was one deputy speaker for eachisland group ofLuzon,Visayas andMindanao. In the15th Congress starting in 2010, all six deputy speakers are "at-large". In the16th Congress, the deputy speakers represent the chamber at-large. Starting in the17th Congress, each region is represented by a deputy speaker, with additional deputy speakers from the party-list ranks.
The deputy speakers perform the speaker's role when the speaker is absent. In case in the resignation of the speaker, the deputy speakers shall elect from among themselves an acting speaker, until a speaker is elected.
The current deputy speakers are representativesFerdinand Hernandez of South Cotabato (who is also the senior deputy speaker),Janette Garin of Iloilo,Yasser Balindong of Lanao del Sur,Paolo Ortega of La Union,Jay Khonghun of Zambales,Kristine Singson-Meehan of Ilocos Sur,Ronaldo Puno of Antipolo City,Ferjenel Biron of Iloilo,Raymond Mendoza of theTUCP party-list,Yevgeny Emano of Misamis Oriental, andDavid Suarez of Quezon.[9][10][11][12]
The majority leader, aside from being the spokesman of the majority party, is to direct the deliberations on the floor. The majority leader is also concurrently the chairman of theCommittee on Rules. The majority leader is elected in a party caucus of the ruling majority party.
The incumbent House majority leader is representativeSandro Marcos (PFP) fromIlocos Norte's first congressional district.[13]
The minority leader is the spokesman of the minority party in the House and is anex-officio member of all standing committees. The minority leader is elected in party caucus of all members of the House in the minority party, although by tradition, the losing candidate for speaker is named the minority leader.
The incumbent House minority leader is representativeMarcelino Libanan, a party-list member for4Ps.[14]
The secretary general enforces orders and decisions of the House; keeps the Journal of each session; notes all questions of order, among other things. The secretary general presides over the chamber at the first legislative session after an election, and is elected by a majority of the members.
At present,Cheloy Garafil is the secretary general of the House of Representatives.[15]
The sergeant-at-arms is responsible for the maintenance of public order in the House of Representatives, among other things. Like the secretary general, the sergeant-at-arms is elected by a majority of the members.
At present, retired Brigadier General Melchor dela Cruz is the sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives.[15]
The qualifications for membership in the House are expressly stated in Section 6, Art. VI of the1987 Philippine Constitution as follows:
There are two types of congressmen: those who represent geographic districts, and those who represent party-lists. Thefirst-past-the-post (simple plurality voting) method is used to determine who represents each of the 243 geographic districts. The party-list representatives are elected via the party-list system. The party-list representatives should always comprise 20% of the seats.
Originally set at 200 in the ordinance of the 1987 constitution, the number of districts has grown to 243. All of the new districts are via created via piecemeal redistricting of the then existing 200 districts, and via the creation of new provinces and cities. The constitution gave Congress to nationally redistrict the country after the release of every census, but this has not been done.
The original 200 districts meant that there should have been 50 party-list representatives. However, the constitution did not give the specifics on how party-list congressmen should have been elected. This led to presidents appointing sectoral representatives, which were then approved by theCommission on Appointments; only a handful of sectoral representatives were seated in this way. With the enactment of the Party-List System Act, the first party-list election was in 1998; with the 2% election threshold, a 3-seat cap and tens of parties participating, this led to only about a fraction of the party-list seats being distributed. Eventually, there had been several Supreme Court decisions changing the way the winning seats are distributed, ensuring that all party-list seats are filled up.
There were supposed to be 245 congressional districts that were to be disputed in the2019 election, so there were 61 party-list seats contested in the party-list election. Elections in two of these districts were delayed due to its creation right before campaigning. TheSupreme Court ruled that one district be contested in the next (2022) election, then theCommission on Elections applied the court's ruling to the other district, bringing the number of districts to 243, while still keeping the 61 party-list representatives, for a total of 304 seats.
Vacancies from representatives elected via districts are dealt withspecial elections, which may be done if the vacancy occurred less than a year before the next regularly scheduled election. Special elections are infrequently done; despite several vacancies, the last special election was in 2023. For party-list representatives, the nominee next on the list is asked to replace the outgoing representative; if the nominee agrees, then that person would be sworn in as a member, if the nominee doesn't agree, then the nominee after that person is asked, and the process is repeated. Vacating party-list representatives have always been replaced this way.
Eighty percent of representatives shall come from congressional districts, with each district returning one representative. The constitution mandates that every province and every city with a population of 250,000 must have at least one representative. Each legislative district, regardless of population, has one congressman. For provinces that have more than one legislative district, the provincial districts are identical to the corresponding legislative district, with the exclusion of cities that do not vote for provincial officials. If cities are divided into multiple districts for city hall representation purposes, these are also used for congressional representation.
The representatives from the districts comprise at most 80% of the members of the House; therefore, for a party to have a majority of seats in the House, the party needs to win a larger majority of district seats. No party since the approval of the 1987 constitution has been able to win a majority of seats, hence coalitions are not uncommon.
The party-list system is the name designated for party-list representation. Under the1987 Constitution, the electorate can vote for certain party-list organizations in order to give voice to significant minorities of society that would otherwise not be adequately represented through geographical district. From 1987 to 1998, party-list representatives were appointed by the President.
Since 1998, each voter votes for a single party-list organization. Organizations that garner at least 2% of the total number of votes are awarded one representative for every 2% up to a maximum of three representatives. Thus, there can be at most 50 party-list representatives in Congress, though usually no more than 20 are elected because many organizations do not reach the required 2% minimum number of votes.
After the2007 election, in a controversial decision, the Supreme Court ordered the COMELEC to change 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 theVFP vs. COMELEC decision. In 2009, in theBANAT vs. COMELEC decision, it was changed anew in which parties with less than 2% of the vote were given seats to fulfill the 20% quota as set forth in the constitution.
Aside from determining which party won and allocating the number of seats won per party, another point of contention was whether the nominees should be a member of the marginalized group they are supposed to represent; in theAng Bagong Bayani vs. COMELEC decision, the Supreme Court not only ruled that the nominees should be a member of the marginalized sector, but it also disallowed major political parties from participating in the party-list election. However, on theBANAT decision, the court ruled that since the law did not specify who belongs to a marginalized sector, the court allowed anyone to be a nominee as long as the nominee as a member of theparty (not necessarily the marginalized group the party is supposed to represent).
Prior to the enactment of the Party-list Act, the president, with the advice and consent of theCommission on Appointments, nominated sectoral representatives. These represented various sectors, from labor, peasants, urban poor, the youth, women and cultural communities. Their numbers grew from 15 members in the8th Congress, to 32 in the10th Congress.
In theInterim Batasang Pambansa, a sectoral election was held to fill up the sectoral seats of parliament.
Under the Republic Act No. 6645 or "An Act Prescribing the Manner of Filling a Vacancy in the Congress of the Philippines", if a seat was vacated with at most 18 months prior to an election the House of Representatives could request the Commission on Elections to hold a special election to fill in the vacancy. The law does not specify for a mechanism if the seat was vacated within 18 months prior to an election. The House of Representatives through its speaker customarily appoints a caretaker or legislative liaison officer to fill in the vacancy.[16] The caretaker cannot vote in the name of the district that is being taken care of.
Congress is mandated to reapportion the legislative districts within three years following the return of every census.[17] Since its restoration in 1987, Congress has not passed any general apportionment law, despite the publication of six censuses in 1990, 1995, 2000, 2007, 2010 and 2015.[18] The increase in the number of representative districts since 1987 were mostly due to the creation of new provinces, cities, and piecemeal redistricting of certain provinces and cities.
The apportionment of congressional districts is not dependent upon a specially mandated independent government body, but rather throughrepublic acts which are drafted by members of Congress. Therefore, apportionment often can be influenced by political motivations. Incumbent representatives who are not permitted by law to serve after three consecutive terms sometimes resort to dividing their district, or even creating a new province which will be guaranteed a seat, just so that their allies be able to run, while "switching offices" with them. Likewise, politicians whose political fortunes are likely to be jeopardized by any change in district boundaries may delay or even ignore the need for reapportionment.
Since 1987, the creation of some new congressional districts have been met with controversy, especially due to incumbent political clans and their allies benefiting from the new district arrangements. Some of these new congressional districts are tied to the creation of a new province, because such an act necessarily entails the creation of a new congressional district.
Currently the district with the lowest population is thelone district of Batanes, with only 18,831 inhabitants in 2020. The most populous congressional district, thefirst district of Rizal, has around 69 times more inhabitants. Data below reflect the district boundaries for the2019 elections, and the population counts from the 2020 census.[23]
| Rank | Legislative district | Population (2020) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rizal–1st | 1,207,509 |
| 2 | Caloocan–1st | 953,125 |
| 3 | Maguindanao del Norte at-large | 943,500 |
| 4 | Pampanga–1st | 880,360 |
| 5 | Cebu–1st | 809,335 |
| 6 | Pasig at-large | 803,159 |
| 7 | Pampanga–3rd | 782,547 |
| 8 | Batangas–3rd | 768,561 |
| 9 | Bulacan–1st | 758,872 |
| 10 | Quezon–2nd | 753,343 |
Because of the lack of a nationwide reapportionment after the publication of every census since the Constitution was promulgated in 1987, faster-growing provinces and cities have become severely underrepresented. Each legislative district is ideally supposed to encompass a population of 250,000.[24]
The Philippine House of Representatives is modeled after theUnited States House of Representatives; the two chambers of Congress have roughly equal powers, and every bill or resolution that has to go through both houses needs the consent of both chambers before being passed for the president's signature. Once a bill is defeated in the House of Representatives, it is lost. Once a bill is approved by the House of Representatives on third reading, the bill is passed to the Senate, unless an exact identical bill has also been passed by the upper house. When a counterpart bill in the Senate is different from the one passed by the House of Representatives, either a bicameral conference committee is created consisting of members from both chambers of Congress to reconcile the differences, or either chamber may instead approve the other chamber's version.
Just like most lower houses, franchise andmoney bills originate in the House of Representatives, but the Senate may still propose or concur with amendments, same with bills of local application and private bills. The House of Representatives has the sole power to initiateimpeachment proceedings, and may impeach an official by a vote of one-third of its members. Once an official is impeached, the Senate tries that official.
TheBatasang Pambansa Complex inQuezon City is the seat of the House of Representatives since its restoration in 1987; it took its name from theBatasang Pambansa, the national parliament which convened there from 1978 to 1986.
ThePhilippine Legislature was inaugurated at theManila Grand Opera House at 1907, then it conducted business at theAyuntamiento in Intramuros. Governor-GeneralLeonard Wood summoned the2nd Philippine Legislature atBaguio and convened atThe Mansion inBaguio for three weeks. The legislature returned to the Ayuntamiento, as theLegislative Building was being constructed; it first convened there on July 26, 1926. The House of Representatives continued to occupy the second floor until 1945 when the area was shelled during theBattle of Manila. The building was damaged beyond repair and Congress convened at the Old Japanese Schoolhouse at Lepanto[25] (modern-day S. H. Loyola) Street, Manila until the Legislative Building can be occupied again in 1949. Congress stayed at the Legislative Building, by now called the Congress Building, until President Marcos shut Congress and ruled by decree starting in 1972.[26]
Marcos then oversaw the construction of the new home of parliament atQuezon City, which convened in 1978. The parliament, called the Batasang Pambansa continued to sit there until the passage of the1986 Freedom Constitution. The House of Representatives inherited the Batasang Pambansa Complex in 1987.
The Batasang Pambansa Complex, now officially called the House of Representatives Building Complex, is at the National Government Center, Constitution Hills, Quezon City. Accessible viaCommonwealth Avenue, the complex consists of four buildings. The main building hosts the session hall; the North and South wings, inaugurated in December 1977, are attached to it. The newest building, the Ramon Mitra, Jr. Building, was completed in 2001. It houses the Legislative Library, committee offices, the Reference and Research Bureau, and conference rooms.[27]

The members of the House of Representatives, aside from being grouped into political parties, are also grouped into the "majority bloc", "minority bloc" and "independents" (different from the independent in the sense that they are not affiliated into a political party). Originally, members who voted for the winning Speaker belong to the majority and members who voted for the opponent are the minority. The majority and minority bloc are to elect amongst themselves a floor leader. While members are allowed to switch blocs, they must do so in writing. Also, the bloc where they intend to transfer shall accept their application through writing. When the bloc the member ought to transfer refuses to accept the transferring member, or a member does not want to be a member of either bloc, that member becomes an independent member. A member that transfers to a new bloc forfeits one's committee chairmanships and memberships, until the bloc the member transfers to elects the member to committees.
The membership in each committee should be in proportion to the size of each bloc, with each bloc deciding who amongst them who will go to each committee, upon a motion by the floor leader concerned to the House of Representatives in plenary. The speaker, deputy speakers, floor leaders, deputy floor leaders and the chairperson of theCommittee on Accounts can vote in committees; the committee chairperson can only vote to break a tie.
To ensure that the representatives each get their pork barrel, most of them will join the majority bloc, or even to the president's party, as basis ofpatronage politics (known as thepadrino system locally); thus, the House of Representatives always aligns itself with the party of the sitting president.
The majority bloc sits at the right side of the speaker, facing the House of Representatives.
Committee memberships are to be determined a few days after the 20th Congress first convenes.
