List of senators elected in the 2025 Philippine Senate election

The filing of candidacies took place from October 1 to 8, 2024, at the Manila Hotel,^[2] where a total of 184 people registered to run for senator.^[3] More than a week later, the commission released an initial list of 66 approved candidates.^[4] In November, the Philippine Commission on Elections (COMELEC) declared 117 nuisance candidates, 14 of which filed a motion for reconsideration.^[5][6] In December, the COMELEC announced 66 names on their final list.^[7] There were multiple senatorial coalitions with two or more candidates running for the Senate.^[8] The coalition headed by incumbent President Bongbong Marcos was Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas with 12 candidates, including re-electionists, cabinet members, and former senators.^[9] Another primary coalition was DuterTen, 10 senatorial candidates who represented former President Rodrigo Duterte and incumbent Vice President Sara Duterte.^[10] Other coalitions included KiBam, consisting of former Senators Bam Aquino and Kiko Pangilinan^[11] and Makabayan, a leftist coalition with 11 members consisting of former Philippine House of Representatives members, activists, and advocates.^[12]

According to the 1987 constitution and Republic Act No. 7056 in 1992, senators have been elected on a nationwide, at-large basis via a plurality-at-large voting system. A voter has twelve votes and can vote for up to twelve candidates. Votes are tallied nationwide, and the twelve candidates with the highest number of votes are elected to the Senate. A person cannot be a senator if they are not a natural-born Filipino citizen, are less than 35 years old on the day of the election, cannot read and write, are not a registered voter, or have not been a resident of the Philippines for more than two years before election day. The Commission on Elections administers elections for the Senate and the Senate Electoral Tribunal handles election disputes after a senator has taken office.^[1][13]

A total of 825,278,088 valid separate votes were cast.^[14] Out of 69,673,653 registered voters, 57,350,968 voted, with a turnout of 82.20%, the largest in Philippine midterm election history.^[15] Bong Go gained first place with 27,121,073 votes, 6.33% of the total split votes.^[14] Six Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas slate members were elected, four members of DuterTen won the election, and both KiBam members were declared senators.^[8] Aquino and Pangilinan thanked their voters for their unexpected surge into 2nd and 5th places respectively.^[16][8] Meanwhile, according to The Philippine Star, Marcos's and Sara Duterte's post-election statements conveyed disappointment, with Marcos prioritizing public service and Duterte stating that the outcome was "not what we had hoped for".^[8] The 12 winning senators' proclamation was held on the afternoon of May 17 at the Manila Hotel.^[16]
