The election was for the restored bicameral Congress of the Philippines. All winners' terms are from June 30, 1987, up to June 30, 1992. Background In the aftermath of then 1986 Philippine presidential election, incumbent Ferdinand Marcos and his running mate Arturo Tolentino were declared winners. There were widespread protests denouncing Marcos' victory, alleging massive fraud. The protests evolved into the People Power Revolution, driving Marcos into exile. Corazon Aquino, the candidate Marcos supposedly defeated, became president. A month after taking power, she proclaimed the Freedom Constitution, abolishing the Batasang Pambansa (parliament).1986 Provisional (Freedom) Constitution of the Philippines http://chanrobles.com/aquinoproclamationo3.htm#.XeZXRXduLIU December 3, 2019 Chan Robles Virtual Law Library The Freedom Constitution contained provisions for Aquino appointing a constitutional commission that shall draft a new constitution.Guanzon Sofia 2022-03-17 FALSE: Cory Aquino handpicked 48 persons to draft Constitution for business, foreign interests https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/fact-check/cory-aquino-selected-communists-drafted-constitution-oligarchs-foreign-influences/ 2024-12-27 RAPPLER en-US The constitutional commission indeed drafted a new constitution, which was approved by the voters on February 2, 1987.Paredes Divina C. 1987-02-12 Aquino proclaims Constitution https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=kWwVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gwsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3683%2C96142 Manila Standard 1–2 Electoral system Senate The new constitution restored the Senate and its plurality block voting system in use from 1941 to 1972. In this election, all 24 seats are up, and the winners' terms will start on June 30, 1987, and end five years later. House of Representatives The new constitution reverted to the House of Representatives, in use from 1935 to 1972. Unlike its original iteration, the House now adopts the additional seats reserved for sectors first applied in the Batasang Pambansa. There are now 200 districts from congressional districts, then 20% of the seats will be reserved for the party-list system; in lieu of the adoption of such a system, the constitution allows for the old sectoral representation from the Batasang Pambansa to be continued.David Wurfel: The Party-list System: Sectoral or National?

The left ran candidates under the Partido ng Bayan (People's Party, forerunner of Makabayan) banner. In the House elections, the constituent parties under Lakas ng Bayan split up and ran against each other on multiple districts. Results The Lakas ng Bayan had a resounding victory, winning a majority on both chambers of Congress.
