Kongreson

Kongreson is a term used in the context of the Philippines to refer to the regular sessions of the Philippine Congress, which is the legislative branch of the government. The term is derived from the word "congress," which is a common term used in many parliamentary systems around the world to describe the legislative body.

The Philippine Congress is bicameral, meaning it consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives has 250 members, while the Senate has 24 members. Members of both chambers are elected by the people through a system of proportional representation.

Kongreson sessions are typically held twice a year, with the first session starting in July and the second session starting in January. During these sessions, members of the Congress debate and vote on proposed laws, amendments, and other legislative matters. The Congress also has the power to oversee the executive branch of the government, investigate government agencies, and approve the national budget.

Kongreson sessions are an important part of the democratic process in the Philippines, as they provide a forum for citizens to participate in the legislative process and hold their representatives accountable. The sessions are also an opportunity for the Congress to address the needs and concerns of the people and to shape the policies and laws that govern the country.
