The 20th Congress of the Philippines (Filipino: Ikadalawampung Kongreso ng Pilipinas), composed of the Philippine Senate and House of Representatives, is the current meeting of Congress convened on July 28, 2025. The 20th Congress is the meeting during the last three years of Bongbong Marcos's presidency, and will end on June 7, 2028. The convening of the 20th Congress followed the 2025 general elections, which replaced half of the Senate membership and the entire membership of the House of Representatives.

The House of Representatives continues to meet in the Batasang Pambansa Complex. The Senate will remain meeting in the GSIS Building before transferring to the New Senate Building in Taguig by 2028.

History

[edit]

In the 2025 Philippine midterm election, the administration-backed Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas won the most seats in the Senate but lost ground to groups opposed to President Bongbong Marcos. The DuterTen ticket endorsed by Vice President Sara Duterte and former President Rodrigo Duterte outperformed pre-election surveys and gained seats in the upper chamber.[1][2] Meanwhile, the KiBam tandem, having run as an independent opposition aligned with former Vice President Leni Robredo, were both elected, each winning a large share of the vote in upset victories.[3][4] While Lakas–CMD remained the largest party in the House of Representatives—with 104 of its congressional candidates winning in local races—their share of seats declined from outgoing 19th Congress.[5]

Political analyst Ronald Llamas interpreted the results as a rejection of the direction of the Marcos administration but not necessarily an approval of the vocal Duterte opposition.[6] Media outlets attributed the results to Marcos's lack of charisma, his economic policies, the arrest of Rodrigo Duterte, and the first impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.[7][8]

Among the Senators in the 20th Congress, there are four pairs of siblings—Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano; Raffy and Erwin Tulfo; Jinggoy Estrada and JV Ejercito; and Mark and Camille Villar—the most in Philippine history.[9] Tito Sotto will become the first Senator to serve a fifth term, becoming the longest-serving member in the history of the chamber.[10]

In the House of Representatives, seven-term Representative Raymond Mendoza, who has served in every Congress since 2009, is expected to be term-limited after this Congress after having served three uninterrupted terms.[11]

On November 8, 2025, Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla claimed in an interview to have seen an arrest warrant for Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), after which dela Rosa hid from public view and refrained from attending any further Senate session for the next six months.[12][13]

2026 Senate upheaval ("Senateflix")

[edit]

On May 11, 2026, dela Rosa came out of hiding and returned to the Senate, an unexpected move that caused surprise to Senate attendees.[14] Dela Rosa return was due to the encouragement of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, who provided him with a vehicle to head to the Senate. Despite attempts by two female agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to serve an International Criminal Court warrant against him at the basement entrance,[15] dela Rosa evaded arrest and attended the day's session to participate in the ouster of Senator Tito Sotto as Senate President to be replaced with Cayetano, a move interpreted to be in reaction to the ongoing second impeachment of Vice President Duterte.[16][17] The institution was soon placed on lockdown as dela Rosa sought protective custody within the Senate.[18]

On the evening of May 13, 2026, unprecedented gunfire was initiated by the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms at the GSIS Building housing the institution during attempts by Senator dela Rosa to evade arresting authorities. The event, occurring within the initial days of the "Senateflix" controversy,[19][20][21] has been described as "embarrassing" and a "national disgrace" for allegedly protecting a fugitive from international law and eroding the institution's "dignity, credibility and moral authority".[22][23][24]

Special session of Congress

[edit]

On June 15, 2026, President Bongbong Marcos called for a special session of Congress to take place on June 17, 2026.[25] The Special Session of Congress witnessed the election of Sherwin Gatchalian as President of the Senate of the Philippines, ending a two-week leadership dispute with then-Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano.[26] Gatchalian served as Senate president pro tempore and acting Senate president from June 3 to 17, 2026, after the then-majority bloc skipped the regular sessions on June 1 and 2,[27] following the arrest of Jinggoy Estrada on June 1, 2026.[28]

Evaluation

[edit]

After the ouster of Senate President Tito Sotto on May 11, 2026 amidst the second impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte, lawyer and former congressman Barry Gutierrez considered the Senate to have drastically declined as an institution compared to previous congresses, citing its various members' inclination to using constitutional crises as part of their "political toolkit" and the diminishing of accountability through the senate's practices.[81] Gutierrez stated that "I never thought I'd see the day that the House of Representatives would be more respectable than the Senate", and unfavorably compared the Senate's avoidance of an impeachment trial during the 20th Congress to the Senate that tackled the 2000–2001 impeachment trial of President Joseph Estrada despite his numerous allies in the Senate body.[81]
