List of Senators of the Philippines

The Senate of the Philippines is the upper house of Congress. The senate composed of 24 senators, each elected to a six-year term, with one re-election under plurality-at-large voting: on each election, the voters vote for up to twelve candidates, with the twelve candidates the highest number of votes being elected.

Prior to 1916, the Philippine Assembly, from 1935 to 1941 the National Assembly and from 1978 to 1986 the Batasang Pambansa (National Legislature) was the sole house of the legislature. In periods where the legislature was bicameral, the upper house has always been called as the "Senate". From 1972 to 1978 and from 1986 to 1987, the president possessed legislative powers.

List

On the list below, each "•" corresponds to a series of legislative sessions immediately after an election in which the senator sat.
During the Philippine Legislature, each term was three years with unlimited reelection. Therefore, each "•" is one term.
For the Commonwealth Congress and Congress of the Republic from 1941 to 1972, each term was six years with unlimited reelection, and a senator's seat will be up on the third election after he took office, except when he won it on a special election. Therefore, three consecutive "•" is one term.
For Congress of the Republic from 1987 to the present, each term is six years with one reelection; except for the 8th Congress, where Senators sat for a term of five years, and for the 9th Congress, where the twelve senators with highest number of votes in the 1992 election sat for a term of six years, and the next twelve sat for a term of three years, excluding special elections. Therefore, two consecutive "•" is most likely one term before 1998, and is always one term post-1998.
