  • The Familiar Senate
    CongressWatch Report No. 175 Report No. 175 11 April 2013 Part 2 of the 2013 Election Series of CongressWatch The familiar Senate The political dynamics in the Senate often differs from the House of Representatives, particularly on the issues of the national budget and on the proposed amendments to the Constitution. They also have a different take on key measures—the reproductive health law and the law restructur- ing excise taxes of alcohol and tobacco products, based on their vote records (yes-no-abstain): Responsible Parenthood Restructuring the excise taxes of and Reproductive Health alcohol and tobacco products Act House of Representatives HB 4244: 133-79-7 HB 5727: 210-21-5 Senate SB 2865: 13-8-0 SB 3299: 10-9-0 The Senate is also different in the elections since only 12 of the 24 slots are up for grabs every na- tional election. Each senator has a six-year term and is eligible for re-election, not exceeding two consecutive terms. Unlike in the House of Representatives, the Senate, as an institution, is not completely dissolved in-between elections. According to the Senate website, “the purpose of the continuity of the life of the Senate is intended to encourage the maintenance of policies as well as guarantee that there will be experienced members who can help and train newcomers in the discharge of their duties.” However, at least in the last two elections, veterans and familiar faces made up the Senate roll. This is where the senatorial contest runs similar to those in the legislative districts or even in other elective posts—incumbent and returning officials have had the upper hand.

  • Philippine Mid-Term Elections: a Duterte Double
    ISSUE: 2019 No. 27 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 11 April 2019 Philippine Mid-term Elections: A Duterte Double Malcolm Cook* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On 13 May, the Philippines will hold elections for all local and provincial positions, all seats in the House of Representatives, and half of the 24 seats in the Senate. • If the current opinion polls prove accurate (as they have in the past): o President Rodrigo Duterte and his daughter Sara Duterte, even though neither is running for national office, will be the biggest winners nationally; o the composition of the new Senate will be more favourable to President Duterte and his campaign for a new federal constitution; and o the new Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) party coalition led by Sara Duterte will be well placed for the 2022 presidential and legislative elections. *Malcolm Cook is Senior Fellow at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 27 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION The 13 May mid-term elections in the Philippines, with over 18,000 elected positions to be decided, will be the second largest exercise in democracy in Southeast Asia this year after the 17 April elections in Indonesia. To the chagrin of drinkers and bettors, on Monday 13 May, the “selling, furnishing, offering, buying, serving, or taking intoxicating liquor” will be prohibited across the Philippines as will the “holding of fairs, cockfights, boxing, horse races or any other similar sports.1 The coverage of Philippine mid-term elections in the post-Marcos era invariably focusses more on the Senate than the House of Representatives or sub-national positions and are seen as a partial referendum on the serving president even though their name does not appear on the ballot.

  • Ateneofactcheck 2013 First Brief
    AteneoFactCheck 2013 First Brief Fact Check: Coalitional Politics Team PNoy Claim: Team PNoy senatorial candidates were selected based on who can support the reform agenda of President Aquino. “More than popularity, the LP-AKBAYAN-NPC-NP-LDP-NUP Coalition senatorial slate is borne out of shared set of principles. The slate represents those who have helped in the advancement of the President’s agenda and those who have committed to his program of government,” the Coalition said. Source:http://www.liberalparty.org.ph/2012/10/union-of-principles-marks-lp- akbayan-npc-np-ldp-nup-coalition/ Fact Checked: Three years into office, the administration of President Benigno “PNoy” Aquino has achieved critical successes in many of its major reform agenda, such as the passage of the Reproductive Health (RH) Law and the Sin Tax Law, the impeachment of former Chief Justice Renato Corona, the holding of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for prosecution, the removal from office of former Ombudswoman Merceditas Gutierrez, and advancing the peace process through the signing of the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement. Vowing to continue his slogan of Matuwid na Daan, the political party of President Aquino, the Liberal Party, has pooled together a crop of senatorial candidates composed of figures from different parties as well as independents who are believed to share the stands and the reform program of the President. Based on their official pronouncements as well as interviews of them by the press which have been written on, the respective stands of all candidates under the Team PNoy Coalition are largely consistent with the positions of the Aquino administration except on the RH Law, the Sin Tax Law and the impeachment of former Chief Justice Corona.
