The Lakas ng Bayan Coalition (LABAN) got 64.9% of the vote but won 22 out of 24 seats in the Senate; only two candidates from the opposition Grand Alliance for Democracy won: former Secretary of National Defense Juan Ponce Enrile and San Juan Mayor Joseph Estrada, despite getting 26.6% of the vote.

Almost all its members including Assemblymen Arturo Tolentino, Jose Rono, Nicanor Yniquez, Cesar Virata who were coming from the Nacionalista Party among others were orphaned.

Winners who had served in the Batasang Pambansa were LABAN's Neptali Gonzales, Orlando S. Mercado, Aquilino Pimentel Jr., Alberto Romulo, and Victor Ziga, and GAD's Juan Ponce Enrile.
