The constitution provides for only half of the senators in the coming elections so that there will be remaining senior senators that will be retained in order to have a good Senate.

The Philippine Senate is composed of 24 Senators. During the Presidential elections, the top 24 Senators get their posts. The top 12 get to serve the entire 6 year term (along with the president). The lower 12 only serve for 3 years, after w/c another election is held to determine the next set of 12 Senators to serve for another 3 years.
