The Elections for the House of Representatives of the Philippines were held on November 11, 1941, with the ruling Nacionalista Party retaining a majority of the seats. Still, the party was prevented a clean sweep when three independents were elected. The elected congressmen were supposed to serve from December 30, 1941 to December 30, 1945 but World War II intervenedied Imperial Japan invaded the Philippines on December 8, 1941 and set up a puppet Second Philippine Republic, which then organized the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic in which its members were elected in 1943.^[1][2]

The Philippines was re-taken by the Allied Powers in 1945 and the acts of the Second Republic were nullified; elected representatives who survived the war and were not interred for collaboration with the Japanese served until those who won in elections that were held in 1946 took office.
