2013 Philippine House of Representatives elections

The 2013 Philippine House of Representatives elections saw a significant victory for the Liberal Party, led by President Benigno Aquino III. The party secured a strong majority, enabling them to form a large coalition with other allies, independents, and sectoral representatives. This majority marked a rare achievement, as it was the first time since the 1986 People Power Revolution that a president held majorities in both legislative chambers.

Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. retained his position, reflecting the Liberal Party's dominance. The minority bloc was led by opposition parties such as Lakas–CMD and elements of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA). The party-list elections faced delays due to disputes over disqualified parties, affecting result announcements.

Notable candidates like Kaka Bag-ao strategically switched parties to win their districts, highlighting tactical moves in the political landscape. The election underscored support for Aquino's reform agenda but also revealed potential challenges for his successor in 2016, as UNA secured key victories. This set the stage for future political dynamics, with implications extending beyond the current term.
