The 19th Congress of the Philippines (Filipino: Ikalabinsiyam na Kongreso ng Pilipinas), composed of the Philippine Senate and House of Representatives, met from July 25, 2022, until June 11, 2025, during the first three years of Bongbong Marcos's presidency. The convening of the 19th Congress followed the 2022 general elections, which replaced half of the Senate membership and the entire membership of the House of Representatives.
The House of Representatives met in the Batasang Pambansa Complex. The Senate met in the GSIS Building, with a scheduled move to its new building in Taguig indefinitely postponed.[1] The 19th Congress was also the first since the 10th Congress that no senator was from the Liberal Party.
