message: There must be a image of Official Seal of the Congress in this article. I notice that some Countries' Congress or Parliament has it own official logo. why that Philippine Congress has none??, if possible please consider this source...-121.54.2.91 (talk) 16:28, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Each house has its own seal; the Congress as a whole doesn't have one, as far as I know (it helps that the two Houses's seats are in separate locations). Previously there was a seal here but it was removed for being unfactual. –HTD 17:12, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

text: As I've know the Philippine Congress has it's own official seal, i found it in this source, if you are confused, please do some further research for this  issue...-121.54.2.91 (talk) 13:43, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that was the one that was deleted for being unfactual. There were no sources that the seal was ever used: the only instances that it would've been used was on joint sessions and that never made an appearance. –HTD 05:40, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The Powers section of the article needs a rewrite.
The Implied powers subsection currently says, "It is the essential to the effective exercise of other powers expressly granted to the assembly". I am unable to parse this.
The Inherent powers contradicts provisions of the Article VI] of the Article VI 1987 RP Constitution.
*Article VI, Section 15(3) says explicitly, "Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds of all its Members, suspend or expel a Member. ..."
*Article VI, Section 15(4) says explicitly, "Each House shall keep a Journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may, in its judgment, affect national security; and the yeas and nays on any question shall, at the request of one-fifth of the Members present, be entered in the Journal.   Each House shall also keep a Record of its proceedings.
My understanding is that these are powere explicitly granted by the constitution, not inherent powers.
There may be other problems or constitutional conflicts as well. I don't currently have time to suggest rewritten content, but I may revisit this as I get time. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 22:02, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I was navigated to this article from somewhere else, and noticed that the table in the History section glossed over the Fil-Am war period. I attempted to correct that with this edit. I'm not happy with the results, and I notice that the textual content of the Revolutionary era subsection glosses over the Taft Commission period prior to the end of the Philippine-American War. I have promlems with internet connectivity and time-constraints at present, and don't know how well I'll be able to engage here with others in the near future re improvements to the article in this regard but, IMO, improvements are needed.

message: This edit caught my eye. It changed an unsupported assertion reading
to read
The 250 member limitation is specified in Article VI, Section 5 of the 1987 constitution. I looked at the House of Representatives of the Philippines and the Party-list representation in the House of Representatives of the Philippines articles and googled around a bit trying to identify the law or laws which changed that limit, but I was unable to quickly find that information. I think that it would be useful to identify those laws here and, as applicable, in other related articles.
Also, "The House of Representatives is currently composed of ..." flouts WP:DATED. Something like "Since the passage of Republic Act [number], the House has been composed of ..." would be better. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:07, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
