19th Congress of the Philippines

The 19th Congress of the Philippines (Filipino: Ikalabinsiyam na Kongreso ng Pilipinas), composed of the Philippine Senate and House of Representatives, met from July 25, 2022, until June 11, 2025, during the first three years of Bongbong Marcos's presidency. The convening of the 19th Congress followed the 2022 general elections, which replaced half of the Senate membership and the entire membership of the House of Representatives.The House of Representatives consisted of 313 members elected from legislative districts and through the party-list system, which under Philippine law is intended to broaden representation by enabling national, regional, and sectoral organizations, including marginalized and underrepresented sectors, to participate in the legislative process. The House of Representatives met in the Batasang Pambansa Complex. The Senate met in the GSIS Building, with a scheduled move to its new building in Taguig indefinitely postponed. The 19th Congress was also the first since the 10th Congress that no senator was from the Liberal Party. == Leadership == === Senate === Senate President: Juan Miguel Zubiri (Independent), until May 20, 2024 Francis Escudero (NPC), from May 20, 2024 Senate President pro tempore: Loren Legarda (NPC), until May 20, 2024 Jinggoy Estrada (PMP), from May 20, 2024 Majority Floor Leader: Joel Villanueva (Independent), until May 20, 2024 Francis Tolentino (PFP), from May 20, 2024 Minority Floor Leader: Koko Pimentel (Nacionalista) === House of Representatives === Speaker: Martin Romualdez (Leyte–1st, Lakas) Senior Deputy Speaker: Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (Pampanga–2nd, Lakas), until May 17, 2023 Aurelio Gonzales Jr. (Pampanga–3rd, Lakas), from May 17, 2023 Deputy Speaker: Raymond Mendoza (Party-list, TUCP) Roberto Puno (Antipolo–1st, NUP) Kristine Singson-Meehan (Ilocos Sur–2nd, NPC) Isidro Ungab (Davao City–3rd, Lakas), until November 7, 2023 Camille Villar (Las Piñas, Nacionalista) Ralph Recto (Batangas–6th, Nacionalista), July 27, 2022 – January 12, 2024 Aurelio Gonzales Jr. (Pampanga–3rd, PDP–Laban), July 27, 2022 – May 17, 2023 Duke Frasco (Cebu–5th, NUP), from July 27, 2022 Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (Pampanga–2nd, Lakas), May 17 – November 7, 2023 Tonypet Albano (Isabela–1st, Lakas), from November 7, 2023 Yasser Balindong (Lanao del Sur–2nd, Lakas), from November 7, 2023 David C.
