SHARED POWERS

With two senators per state, the Senate serves all big and small states equally
moreover, each state's share of the 435 House representatives is determined by its population.
Members of the House of Representatives, with two-year terms, are traditionally more open to
voter issues than senators, who serve for six years. Senators, on the other hand, can't forget
their constituents because one-third of the Senate is up for reelection every two years.

IN CASE THAT ONE SENATOR DIED DURING HIS INCUMBENCY, AND YOU WERE GIVEN THE
POWER TO APPOINT A PERSON WHO WILL REPLACE HIM.

The question of who President Duterte may or cannot nominate has arisen in light of
the President's decision to postpone this year's simultaneous barangay and Sangguniang
Kabataan elections, which are due to take place on the fourth Monday of October 2017. The
President said that he does not want drug lords to win, and that if the barangay elections are
held as planned, the winner could be backed by drug funds. Since "narcopolitics" has "entered
the forefront of Philippine politics" and "40 percent of total barangay captains are involved in
drugs," the President's aim is to make all village vacancies vacant.
