Philippine House of Representatives

The Philippine House of Representatives is one of the two chambers of the country's national legislature, responsible for creating and passing laws. Comprising elected representatives called "congressmen" or "congresswomen," each representing a specific geographic district or sector, their role is to propose, review, and amend legislation. The House works alongside the Senate to formulate policies that address national issues, allocate government funds, and oversee executive actions. It functions as a key component of the legislative branch, ensuring representation of various communities and interests in the lawmaking process.
