  • The Batasang Pambansa, also known by its nickname, the Batasan, was the former parliament of the Philippines, established as an interim assembly in 1978 and finally as an official body in 1984. Under the 1973 constitution, it replaced the former Congress established under the 1935 Commonwealth constitution. The Batasan was one of two unicameral parliaments in Philippine history, the other being the Malolos Congress under the 1899 constitution. Today, the term refers to the Batasang Pambansa complex, where the former parliament convened, and now where members of the Philippine House of Representatives hold their sessions. Comprising 212 members elected by first past the post and 23 members elected by party list proportional representation, the legislators debate economic, social and other issues inside the complex. The Batasang Pambansa is located in Batasan Road, Batasan Hills, Quezon City. The Batasang Pambansa plenary hall is also used for joint sessions of the Philippine Congress, such as election results confirmation meetings, and addresses by the President or other guests of honor. The annual State of the Nation Address delivered by the President of the Philippines in a joint session of Congress is one example of such a speech.
  • De Batasang Pambansa, ook wel bekend als de Batasan was het parlement van de Filipijnen van 1978 tot 1986. Na de inwerkingtreding van de grondwet van 1973 werd het bestaande Congres vervangen door de Iterim Batasan Pambansa. In 1984 ging het parlement verder onder de naam Regular Batasan Pambansa. Het Batasang Pambansa bestond uit een kamer. De enige andere periode dat de Filipijnen een eenkamerig parlement had was van ten tijde van het Malolos Congress in 1898 en 1899. Tegenwoordig verwijst de term naar het Batasang Pambansa complex aan de Batasan Road in Quezon City, waar het toenmalige parlement en het huidige Filipijns Huis van Afgevaardigden samenkomt. Daarnaast wordt het complex ook gebruikt voor zaken als het gezamenlijke sessies van totale Filipijns Congres, het bevestigen van verkiezingsuitslagen en de jaarlijke State of the Nation Address (SONA) toespraak van de president.
