History

The positions of Majority and Minority leaders of the House of Representatives of the Philippines are similarly alike to the United States House of Representatives's party leaders.

Majority floor leader

The majority floor leader is elected among the members of the majority bloc, or those who voted for the Speaker. The majority floor leader asks as the spokesman of the majority bloc and directs deliberation on the plenary. He is also the chairman of the Committee on Rules.^[1]

Minority floor leader

The minority floor leader is elected among the members of the minority bloc. Traditionally, the losing candidate in a two-way speakership election becomes the minority leader, but this was changed in the 17th Congress. The minority floor leader is the spokesman of the minority bloc, and is an ex officio member of all committees.^[2]
