Lawmakers face varied election prospects post-committee hearings

The House of Representatives' quad committee hearings have garnered significant online attention and public interest in the Philippines.

Several lawmakers who frequently appeared during these hearings are now facing different election prospects as term limits come into play, with some running unopposed or facing minimal opposition while others face more competitive races.

Co-chairs Ace Barbers, Caraps Paduano, Dong Gonzales, and Raoul Manuel will not run for reelection due to term limits or age restrictions.

Deputy Speaker Jay-Jay Suarez, Assistant Majority Leader Jay Khonghun, and others are running unopposed or facing minimal opposition, making their re-election likely.

Dan Fernandez, Gerville Luistro, Benny Abante, Johnny Pimentel, Paolo Ortega, Lordan Suan, Mikaela Suansing, France Castro, Arlene Brosas, and Migs Nograles face more competitive races with multiple opponents or shifts in political alliances.

Some quad committee members are transitioning to gubernatorial or mayoral positions while others are contesting for their congressional seats against former representatives.
