The president of the Senate of the Philippines is the presiding officer and the highest-ranking official of the Senate of the Philippines. The Senate president is second in the line of succession to the presidency, after the vice president and before the speaker of the House of Representatives.
The office was created in 1916, following the establishment of the Senate to replace the Philippine Commission as the upper house of the bicameral Philippine Legislature. The Senate president is the administrative head of the chamber and the ex officio chairperson of the Commission on Appointments.
The Senate elects a new president by roll call vote when it convenes during the first session of a new Congress, or when the incumbent Senate president dies, resigns, or is removed from office through a leadership coup.
