Elections for the House of Representatives in the Philippines were held on May 11, 1987. This was the first legislative election since 1984, the first House of Representatives elections since 1969, and the first election since the People Power Revolution that overthrew president Ferdinand Marcos and brought Corazon Aquino to power after alleged election fraud by the former during the 1986 presidential election against the latter. Under the provisions of the Constitution, the 8th Congress spanned for an unprecedented five years, from June 30, 1987 until June 30, 1992.
