Trivia: The Batasan was instituted under the 1973 Constitution promulgated by then-President Ferdinand Marcos, replacing the earlier Congress of the Philippines established by the 1935 Commonwealth Constitution. It was abolished immediately after the People Power Revolution in 1986, and Congress was restored with the passage of the 1987 Constitution.

In 1981, the parliament was formally convened as the Batasang Pambansa, and in August 1985, some dissident members unsuccessfully tried to impeach President Marcos.
