The senatorial election was held in the Philippines on May 14, 2001. Independent candidate Noli de Castro, a former television anchor of TV Patrol of ABS-CBN was announced as the topnotcher. This is the first synchronized national and local elections held after the ouster of Former President Joseph Estrada in January due to a military-backed civilian uprising (popularly known as EDSA II).
The two competing coalitions in this election were the People Power Coalition (PPC) which supported Estrada's ouster, and the Puwersa ng Masa (Force of the Masses) coalition that supported Estrada. The PPC was composed of Lakas-NUCD-UMDP, Reporma-LM, Aksyon Demokratiko, PROMDI, Liberal Party and the PDP-Laban; the Puwersa ng Masa included the LDP, Partido ng Masang Pilipino and other pro-Estrada independents. There were supposed to be twelve seats to be contested but with the appointment of Teofisto Guingona as vice president, the Commission on Elections ruled that the thirteenth-placed candidate will serve the remainder of Guingona's term.
The PPC won eight seats, the Puwersa ng Masa won three, and Noli de Castro as an independent; PPC's Ralph Recto edged out Puwersa ng Masa's Gregorio Honasan for the twelfth place and Honasan was declared to serve Guingona's remaining term. On February 20, 2007, the Supreme Court of the Philippines ruled that former senator Gregorio Honasan lost the election but declared constitutional the special election for the remaining three-year term of Teofisto Guingona.
