An election for the speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines is regularly held after a general election upon the opening of a new Congress, or when the incumbent speaker dies, resigns, or is ousted from the position through a motion to vacate, or when a majority of representatives sign a resolution supporting another member for the speakership. The speaker is the body's presiding officer and highest-ranking official, serving as the administrative head of the House. [1]

Contents

Elections for a new House speaker are generally held at least every three years, and have been held at least 48 times (originating from the election of the president of the Malolos Congress, followed by elections for the lower house of the national legislature, and later, for the unicameral Batasang Pambansa). By tradition, the majority party in the House decides from among its members whom to nominate for the speakership. Most elections since 1987 have seen coalitions of major parties supporting a single nominee for the position, with a contender also chosen by the opposition. An election is generally conducted by nominal voting, with the secretary calling the roll of members to cast their votes. If there is only one nominee for the position, upon the closing of nominations and with no objection heard from the floor, the candidate is elected speaker by acclamation. The representative who receives a majority of all votes cast is declared the new speaker. Historically, only the 1898 election for the president of the Malolos Congress required a second ballot to determine a winner. [2] All succeeding elections required only one round of voting, but if no candidate receives a majority, it is presumed that the roll call is repeated until a speaker is elected.

Representatives are not restricted to voting for a candidate from their own party, although in recent Congresses lawmakers have tended to vote for their partymates or the nominee belonging to party of the sitting president.

Since 1907, 25 representatives have served as speaker; ten served multiple terms, while 15 were elected only once. Sergio Osmeña, who served as the first House speaker from 1916 to 1935, holds the record for the most electoral victories for the speakership, having been elected six times. [3]
