Philippine Senate elections are via pluraity block voting, with staggered elections, with the entire country as an at-large "district". Each voter has 24 votes, and can vote for up to 24 candidates.
Under the transitory provisions of the Philippine constitution, all 24 senators were elected in this election. The first 12 senators who garnered the highest votes would have a six-year term while the next 12 senators would also have a three-year term. For purposes of term limits, each term counts as 1 term regardless of length.
