      The 7th Congress of the Philippines (Filipino: Ikapitong Kongreso ng Pilipinas), composed of the Philippine Senate and House of Representatives, met from January 26, 1970, until September 23, 1972, during the fifth, sixth, and seventh years of Ferdinand Marcos's presidency. On September 23, 1972, President Marcos effectively dissolved the Congress with his declaration of martial law. Marcos then exercised legislative powers. In 1976, Congress was replaced by the Batasang Bayan as the Philippines' legislative body until 1978, when it was replaced by the Batasang Pambansa.
      One-third of the Senate and the entire membership of the House of Representatives was replaced after the 1969 general elections. The House members and another third of the Senate membership were again replaced after the midterm senatorial elections of 1971.
