A Metro Manila-centric Senate
BREAKTHROUGH By Elfren S. Cruz (The Philippine Star) | Updated June 6, 2013 - 12:00am
The Philippine Senate is the most unique senate in the world because it is the only one where the senators are elected at large. This means all the 24 senators are elected on a national basis.
The Australian Senate consists of 76 senators, twelve from each of the six states and two from each of the mainland territories. The Mexican Senate is made up of 128 senators, two from each of the 31 states and two from the Federal District. The Nigerian Senate is composed of 109 senators. Nigeria is divided into 36 states which are each divided into 3 senatorial districts, with each selecting a senator.
In Russia, the upper house of the Federal Assembly is the equivalent to a senate. Each of the 83 federal subjects of Russia — consisting of 21 republics, 46 “oblasts,” nine “krais,” two federal cities, four autonomous “okrugs” and one autonomous “oblasts” – sends two senators to the council, for a total of 166 councillors.
The United States Senate is a legislative chamber in the bicameral legislature of the United States and together with the House Representatives makes up the US Congress. Each US state is represented by two senators regardless of population, who serve staggered six year terms. California, the most populous state with a population of 37, 253,000 has two senators. Wyoming, the least populated state with 563,00 also has two senators.
There are at least 54 countries in the world with a Senate, but most of them have limited powers. The US and the Philippines are two of very few countries where the senate has equal power with the lower house. However, the difference lies in the manner of electing the senators.
