Report No. 176 17 June 2013

The 16th Congress

In the Senate

The 16th Congress will open on 22 July, the same day that President Benigno Aquino III delivers his fourth State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA). The Senate will likely have a complete roster for the first time since the 12th Congress. It may be recalled that during the 2001 elections, 13 senators were elected, with the last placer serving the unfinished term of Sen. Teofisto Guingona who was then appointed as vice president. The chamber had a full roll of 24 senators for only a year, due to the appointment of Sen. as Foreign Affairs Secretary on 23 July 2002, and due to the passing of Sen. Renato Cayetano on 25 June 2003. The 11th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Congresses did not have full membership, primarily because a senator did not complete the six-year term due to being elected to another post.1

In the 2013 midterm elections last May, all of the six senators seeking re-election made it to the top 12, while two were members of the House of Representatives in the 15th Congress. The twelve senators-elect are: Senator party PREVIOUS POSITION

There is still no absolute majority for the political parties just like in the previous Congress except for very minor differences. The (NP) has the most number of members in the Senate with five, followed by the Liberal Party (LP) with four. NP gained one more seat, while LAKAS lost one. The number of independent senators went down to three from a high of five during the 15th Congress.

Meanwhile, the 16th Congress will have the most number of female senators with six, twice the number in the preceding Congress. The most number of lady legislators in the Senate was during the 6th Congress with five.2

By age, the new mean is slightly lower at 53 compared to 55 in the previous Congress. Discounting one senator who will be turning 90 next year, the average age of the Senate in the 16th Congress will further go down to 51.

In the House

The House of Representatives will also have its largest possible contingent so far at 292, where 234 are district representatives and 58 are party list representatives.3 Of the 234 district representatives, 92 are first-termers, while the remaining 142 constitute re-electionists from the 15th Congress. There were a total of 161 House members from the 15th Congress who vied for re-election.

Meanwhile, of the 43 legislators who ran for other posts, 21 won and 22 lost.

The first-term lawmakers however, cannot really be considered as neophytes, since 50 are current- ly occupying other elective posts, and 21 are former officials making a comeback.

2From 1968-1969. Magnolia Antonino, , , and Tecla San Andres Ziga were elected in 1966 to serve until 1969, while Helena Benitez was senator from 1968 to 1973.

3The Supreme Court, however, is yet to finally resolve the petition filed by party-list groups that were disqualified by COMELEC and the High Court’s TRO on the proclamation of the groups that will fill-up the five remaining party-list seats. ______2 CongressWatch Report No. 176
