The Senate of the Philippines As an Institution

The Senate of the Philippines is one of the pillars of the country’s lawmaking body, the other one is the House of Representatives. It is composed of 24 elected Senators whose terms of office shall be six (6) years. This dynamic institution is established to balance our economic, social and political environment and whose concerns are national in scope. As the bastion of democracy, its action is centered on consensus and consultation with the end purpose of serving the best interest of the Filipino people. The SENATE also values the importance of having productive and harmonious relationship with other institutions, from the government and the private sector, to create an environment where rapport and goodwill among institutions prevail. Its main objective is the passage of good, implement able and doable laws in pursuit of democratic ideals that would truly serve the national interest and the welfare of the people.
