The House of Representatives of the Philippines (Filipino: Kapulungan ng mga Kinatawan ng Pilipinas), is the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines. The Senate of the Philippines is the upper house). It is often informally called Congress. Members of the House are officially styled as Representative (Kinatawan) and sometimes informally called Congressmen/Congresswomen (mga kongresista) and are elected to a three- year term. They can be re- elected, but cannot serve more than three consecutive terms. Around eighty percent of congressmen are district representatives, representing a particular geographical area. There are 2. 34 legislative districts in the country, each composed of about 2.
There are also party- list representatives elected through the party- list system who constitute not more than twenty percent of the total number of representatives. Aside from having its concurrence on every bill in order to be passed for the President's signature to become a law, the House of Representatives has the power to impeach certain officials, and all money bills must originate from the lower house. The House of Representatives is headed by the Speaker, currently Pantaleon Alvarez of Davao del Norte. The official headquarters of the House of Representatives is at the Batasang Pambansa (literally, national legislature) located in the Batasan Hills in Quezon City in Metro Manila. The building is often simply called Batasan and the word has also become a metonym to refer to the House of Representatives. History[edit]. Joint session of the Philippine Legislature, Manila.

Same as above, but in cumulative seat totals, instead of percentages. Philippine Assembly[edit]At the beginning of American colonial rule, from March 1. Philippine Commission with all members appointed by the President of the United States. Headed by the Governor- General of the Philippines the body exercised all legislative authority given to it by the President and the United States Congress until October 1. 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. The Philippine Bill of 1.
Insular Government, mandated that once certain conditions were met a bicameral, or two- chamber, Philippine Legislature would be created with the previously existing, all- appointed Philippine Commission as the upper house and the Philippine Assembly as the lower house. This bicameral legislature was inaugurated in October 1.
Under the leadership of Speaker Sergio Osmeña and Floor Leader Manuel L. Quezon, the Rules of the 5. United States Congress was substantially adopted as the Rules of the Philippine Legislature. Osmeña and Quezon led the Nacionalista Party, with a platform of independence from the United States, into successive electoral victories against the Progresista Party and later the Democrata 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.
Jones Act of 1. 91. In 1. 91. 6, the Jones 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 a Senate 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 1. Assembly via a virtual dominant- party system. Commonwealth and the Third Republic[edit]The legislative system was changed again in 1.
The 1. 93. 5 Constitution established a unicameral. National Assembly. But in 1. 94. 0, through an amendment to the 1.
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 1. 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 the Liberal Party. These two will contest all of the elections in what appeared to be a two- 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 enough number will break away and join the party of the president, thereby ensuring that the president will have control of the House of Representatives.
Martial Law[edit]This set up continued until President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law and abolished Congress. He would rule by decree even after the 1.
Constitution abolished the bicameral Congress and created a unicameral Batasang Pambansa parliamentary system of government, as parliamentary election would not occur in 1. Marcos' Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL; New Society Movement) won all of the seats except those from the Central Visayas ushering in an era of KBL dominance, which will continue until the People Power Revolution overthrew Marcos in 1. Constitution[edit]The 1. 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- 1. Nacionalista- Liberal two- party system.
Instead, a multi- party system evolved. Corazon Aquino who nominally had no party, supported the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP; Struggle of the Democratic Filipinos). With the victory of Fidel V. Ramos in the 1. 99. Lakas- NUCD party; the same would happen with Joseph Estrada's victory in 1. EDSA Revolution that brought his vice president Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo to power. This also meant the restoration of Lakas- NUCD as the top party in the chamber.
The same would happen when Benigno Aquinowon in 2. Liberals into power. The presiding officer is the Speaker. Unlike the Senate 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 include Jose de Venecia, Jr.'s resignation as speaker in 2. Joey de Venecia exposed alleged corrupt practices by First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, and Manny Villar's ouster occurred after he allowed the impeachment of President Estrada in 2.
Officers[edit]The members of the House of Representatives who are also its officers are also ex officio members of all of the committees and have a vote. Speaker[edit]The Speaker is the head of the House of Representatives.
