Elections for the House of Representatives of the Philippines were held on November 11, 1941, with the ruling

National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic, whose members were elected in 1943.[1][2]

The Philippines was liberated by the Allied Powers in 1945 and the acts of the Second Republic were nullified; elected representatives who survived the war and were not interned for collaboration with the Japanese served until those who won in elections that were held in 1946 took office.
