- Unlike members of the House of Representatives, the term of a senator under the 1935 Philippine Constitution was six years. Each congress (which literally means a meeting of senators and representatives in the House of Congress) has a period of three years. Thus, having been elected for a senatorial term of six years, Teves' tenure spanned two congresses.
