List of female members of the House of Representatives of the Philippines

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

This is a list of women members of House of Representatives of the Philippines. It is a guide to identify the women in the Philippines who have served as members of the House of Representatives of the Philippines, and its related versions.

The list is chronologically grouped according to the convocation of the Philippine Congress in which members were elected. Included in this list are members of the Philippine Constitutional Convention of 1971, the Batasang Bayan, which functioned as the de facto legislature from 1976 to 1978, the Interim and Regular Batasang Pambansa, which functioned as the unicameral legislature during the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos from 1978 until its abolition in 1986, and the Philippine Constitutional Commission of 1986.

An asterisk (*) denotes they were elected to the legislature for the first time.

Records[edit]

The first woman to be elected as a member of the Philippine Congress was Elisa Ochoa, who was elected in the 1941 Philippine general election for the 1st Congress of the Commonwealth of the Philippines. However, she was only able to take office in 1945, following the end of World War II, as its inauguration was interrupted by the Japanese Occupation. During that period, Ochoa was also the only female legislator in the National Assembly of the Japanese-installed Second Philippine Republic from 1943 to 1945.

Remedios Ozamis Fortich was the first woman to become a member of the post-independence House of Representatives, in 1946.

Tecla San Andres Ziga, who was elected in a special election in 1955, was the first congresswoman to win reelection, in 1957.

Geraldine Roman is the first and only trans woman to be elected to the House, in 2016.

Daisy Avance-Fuentes was the first woman to become Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines, from 1998 to 2001. Bella Angara was the first woman to become House Majority Leader, from 2000 to 2001. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was the first woman to become Speaker of the House, from 2018 to 2019. She also become one of only two people to hold at least three of the four highest offices in the Philippines: vice president, president, and house speaker, alongside former President Sergio Osmeña.[1]
