The 19th Congress of the Philippines (Filipino : Ikalabinsiyam na Kongreso ng Pilipinas), composed of the Philippine Senate and House of Representatives, convened on July 25, 2022. The 19th Congress is meeting during the first three years of Bongbong Marcos's presidency, and will end on June 6, 2025. The convening of the 19th Congress followed the 2022 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 currently meets in the GSIS Building, with a scheduled move to its new building in Taguig following the sine die adjournment in 2025. [1] The 19th Congress is also the first since the 10th Congress that no senator is from the Liberal Party.
The following are the terms of the senators of this Congress, according to the date of election:
Terms of members of the House of Representatives started on June 30, 2022, took office on July 25, and will end on June 30, 2025, unless stated otherwise.
