The House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET) is an electoral tribunal that decides election protests in the House of Representatives of the Philippines. It consists of six representatives and three justices of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, who are designated by the Chief Justice. The equivalent tribunals for elections to the upper house is the Senate Electoral Tribunal and for president is the Presidential Electoral Tribunal. The tribunal is located at SET-HRET Building, Commission on Audit Compound, Quezon City.

Members of the Tribunal receive a monthly allowance of 100,000 Philippine pesos on top of their regular salaries.[1]

In August 2020, the tribunal abandoned its old building in Quezon City when the city's Department of Building Official condemned it.[2]

History

[edit]

In the 1935 constitution, the HRET had 9 members, 3 of which were justices of the Supreme Court designated by the Chief Justice, three designated by the largest political party, and another three from the second largest party.

In the 1987 constitution, the HRET still had 9 members, 3 were still justices of the Supreme Court designated by the Chief Justice, but the six members from the House were now "shall be chosen on the basis of proportional representation from the political parties and the parties or organizations registered under the party-list system represented therein".

Current members

[edit]

The chairman is always the third most senior associate justice of the Supreme Court that's sitting on the tribunal.

The three members from the Supreme Court are designated by the chief justice. While there's no regular occurrence on when a chief justice designates members, this is almost certainly done when there is a new justice of the Supreme Court.

The six members from the House of Representatives are named in a resolution of the House. This always happens at the organization of the chamber at the start of every new Congress.

These are the members in the 19th Congress, which first convened on July 22, 2022.
