Elections for the House of Representatives of the Philippines were held on November 9, 1965. Held on the same day as the
presidential election, the party of the incumbent president,
Diosdado Macapagal's
Liberal Party, won a majority of the seats in the House of Representatives.[1] Despite
Ferdinand Marcos of the opposition
Nacionalista Party winning the presidential election, Liberal Party congressmen did not defect to the Nacionalista Party. This led to
Cornelio Villareal being retained
Speaker of the House after retaking it from
Daniel Romualdez midway during the previous Congress.
The elected representatives served in the
6th Congress from 1965 to 1969.
