The Congress of the Philippines (Filipino: Kongreso ng Pilipinas) is the national legislative branch of the Philippines.

Each congress convenes every 27th of the month and consists of the duly elected Speaker, Deputy Speaker and members of Congress.

History

Initially, members of Congress were divided accordingly to the 4 regions of the Philippines, with each of the regions having 9 representatives plus 4 wildcard winners. However, in September 2012, a new voting system was implemented by the eRepublik Administrators. After the implementation of a party-list proportional representation voting system in September 2012, congress is usually composed of 40 Congress members.

In the new election system, voters are required to vote for the political party list, not the candidates themselves. However, the candidates are still required to submit their candidacy in order to be eligible for the election. The top 5 political parties in the country are only eligible for the vote. The percentage of seats of the political parties is determined by the percentage of votes received by the political party. If ever a party has received enough percentage of votes but is lacking a sufficient number of seats due to a lack of candidates, the remaining vacant seats are disregarded. With this, the 40 seats available and up for election are not always assured to be filled after the results have been announced.

Having the current election system in place, the equality of representation from the country's regions is now dissolved.
