The legislative power is vested in the Congress of the Philippines which consists of the

Senate of the Philippines and the House of Representatives. The upper house is located
in Pasay, while the lower house is located in Quezon City. Both are in Metro Manila. The
district and sectoral representatives are elected for a term of three years. They can be
re-elected but they may not run for a fourth consecutive term.
Senators are elected to a term of six years. They can be re-elected but may not run for
a third consecutive term. The House of Representatives may opt to pass for a vacancy
of a legislative seat, which leads to a special election. The winner of the special election
will serve the unfinished term of the previous district representative, and will be
considered as one elective term. The same rule also applies in the Senate; however, it
only applies if the seat was vacated before a regular legislative election.
The current president of the Senate is Tito Sotto, while the current speaker of the
House of Representatives is Lord Allan Velasco.
