The Batasang Pambansa (Batasan; English: National Assembly, lit. "National Legislature") was the former parliament of the Philippines, established as an interim assembly in 1978 and later as an official body in 1984. The Batasan was erected under the 1973 Constitution promulgated by then-President strongman Ferdinand Marcos, replacing the earlier Congress established by the 1935 Commonwealth Constitution. It was abolished immediately after the 1986 People Power Revolution, and Congress was restored.
The Batasan was one of two unicameral parliaments in Philippine History, the other being the 1899 Malolos Congress.
