{{Politics of the Philippines}}
The '''2016 election to the Senate of the Philippines''' will be the 32nd [[Philippine senatorial elections|election]] to the [[Senate of the Philippines]]. The 12 seats of the senators [[Philippine Senate election, 2010|elected in 2010]] will be up on this election. The winners in this election will join the winners of the 2013 election to form the [[17th Congress of the Philippines]].

The Senate election will be a part of the [[Philippine general election, 2016|2016 general election]] where elections for President, Vice President, members of the House of Representatives, and all local officials, including those from the [[Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao]], will be held.

The election will be held on a [[plurality-at-large voting]] system, where the voter has 12 votes, each candidate getting one vote, and the twelve candidates with the highest number of votes being elected.

==Electoral system==
{{main|Philippine senatorial elections}}
[[Philippine senatorial elections]] are done via the [[plurality-at-large voting]] system: the entire country is one [[at-large]] "district", where a voter can vote up to twelve people (one vote per candidate), with the twelve candidates with the highest number of votes deemed being elected. Senators who are currently serving their second consecutive term are [[term limit]]ed, although they may run again in 2019. Only [[Staggered election|half of the seats are up]] in every senatorial election. The winning senators will replace the [[List of senators elected in the Philippine Senate election, 2010|batch elected in 2010]], and will join the [[List of senators elected in the Philippine Senate election, 2013|batch elected in 2013]] in the 17th Congress.

Each party has a [[Slate (elections)|slate]] of as many candidates as it can muster, although they don't usually exceed a 12-person [[Ticket (election)|ticket]]. If a party can't complete a full ticket, they may invite "guest candidates" to complete the ticket. They may even come other slates, and these guest candidates may not participate in electoral rallies by their adoptive party(ies), or may not cooperate at the Senate if elected. A coalition of different parties may be formed in cases where no party has the ability to complete a full ticket; a party may not include their entire slate on a coalition ticket. [[Independent (politician)|Independents]] may become guest candidates and be included in coalitions.

In general elections where senators and presidents are elected at the same time, the presidential candidates often have their own slates of senatorial candidates. This means voters have more choices unlike in midterm elections, when there are usually only two major contending political forces.

Winning candidates are proclaimed by the [[Commission on Elections (Philippines)|Commission on Elections]] (COMELEC) sitting as the National Board of Canvassers. Candidates are proclaimed senators-elect if the thirteenth place candidate no longer has a mathematical chance of surpassing that candidate. Post-proclamation disputes are handled by the [[Senate Electoral Tribunal]], a body composed of six senators and three justices from the [[Supreme Court of the Philippines|Supreme Court]].

==Coalitions==
A coalition led by the [[Liberal Party (Philippines)|Liberal Party]] of Interior and Local Government Secretary [[Mar Roxas]], the successor of [[Team PNoy]] coalition in 2013, and the [[United Nationalist Alliance]] of Vice President [[Jejomar Binay]], are widely expected to put up senatorial slates. Aside from these coalitions, candidates running for president are also expected to put up their own slates.

===Koalisyon ng Daang Matuwid===
The senatorial ticket of the [[Liberal Party (Philippines)]] called as "[[Koalisyon ng Daang Matuwid]]" (Coalition for the Straight Path), was unveiled last October 12, 2015 at the LP's headquarters in Cubao, Quezon City led by President Aquino III, and the Roxas and Robredo tandem.<ref name="LP 1">{{Cite web|author=Bea Cupin|url =http://www.rappler.com/nation/politics/elections/2016/108924-liberal-party-2016-senate-slate |title = It’s final: LP completes 12-person Senate slate |accessdate = 2015-10-12|date = 2015-10-11|website = Rappler}}</ref>

In a resolution passed September 30, 2015, the LP National Directorate, and LP National Executive Council nominated incumbent senators [[Franklin Drilon]], [[Teofisto Guingona III]] and [[Ralph Recto]], former [[Department of Justice (Philippines)|Department of Justice]] Secretary [[Leila de Lima]] and former senator [[Francis Pangilinan]] for inclusion. LP Standard-bearer Mar Roxas also declared former [[Department of Energy (Philippines)|Energy Secretary]] and former [[Leyte]] Governor [[Jericho Petilla]] ([[Liberal Party (Philippines)|LP]]) as part of the slate. On October 12, 2015, Interior and Local Government Assistant Secretary for Muslim Affairs and Special Concerns [[Nariman Ambolodto]], PhilHealth Board Director [[Risa Hontiveros]], COOP-NATCCO Party List Representative Cresente Paez and [[Technical Education and Skills Development Authority|TESDA]] Director General Joel Villanueva were included in the slate.

Revision as of 09:19, 26 October 2015

Please refer to COMELEC published list of persons who filed Certificate for Candidacy for Senator for 2016. If anyone is interested to develop this article, a simple list of names, gender, party is sufficient. No need for individual backgrounder if everyone is not equally and fairly described. Wikipedia is apolitical, politically neutral, and cannot be used as publicity to influence the mind of the voters. Thank you.
