Politics of the Philippines Political parties Elections

Otso Diretso (transl. Straight Eight IPA: [ɔtʃɔ dɪrɛtʃɔ]), initially called the Oposisyon Koalisyon^[1] (transl. Opposition Coalition) was an electoral alliance formed to field candidates for the 2019 Philippine general election, in opposition to President Rodrigo Duterte.^[2][3] Otso Diretso fielded eight candidates (otso is the Filipino language literal translation of the Spanish word for "eight" or ocho) for the Senate election from the Liberal, Akbayan, Magdalo Party-List, and Aksyon Demokratiko parties. Senator Francis Pangilinan, president of the Liberal Party, served as the campaign manager.^[4]

None of the eight senatorial candidates under Otso Diretso won a seat.^[5] It was the first time in the history of the current bicameral composition of the Philippine Congress under the 1987 Constitution that the opposition failed to win a seat in one of the chambers, and the first time since the 1938 election that the opposition failed to win a single seat in a legislative election.
