List of senators elected in the Philippine Senate election, 2010

The 2010 Senate election in the Philippines occurred on May 10, 2010 to elect one-half of the Senate. The senators elected in 2010, together with those elected on 2007, will comprise the Senate's delegation in the 15th Congress.

All incumbents that ran successfully defended their seats, with four former senators and two new senators being elected.

Manner of election

Voting for senators is via nationwide, at-large basis via plurality-at-large voting system. A voter has twelve votes: the voter can vote less than twelve but not more than it. Then votes are tallied nationwide and the twelve candidates with the highest number of votes are elected to the Senate. The Commission on Elections administers elections for the Senate, with the Senate Electoral Tribunal deciding election disputes after a Senator has took office.
