A senatorial election was held on November 11, 1969 in the Philippines. While incumbent President Ferdinand Marcos won an unprecedented second full term as President of the Philippines, and his running mate, incumbent Vice President Fernando Lopez was also elected to a third full term as Vice President of the Philippines, their Nacionalista Party-mates also won six of the eight contested seats in the Philippine Senate increasing their majority in the Senate.
There are no retiring incumbents in this election.
These ran in the middle of their Senate terms. For those losing in their respective elections, they can still return to the Senate to serve out their term, while the winners will vacate their Senate seats, then it would have been contested in a special election concurrently with the next general election.
The Nacionalista Party won six seats, while the Liberal Party won two.
Five incumbents successfully defended their seats. Liberals Ambrosio Padilla and Gerardo Roxas, and Nacionalistas José W. Diokno, Gil Puyat, and Arturo Tolentino.
Mamintal A.J. Tamano and Rene Espina of the Nacionalistas are the neophyte senators elected in this election.
Nacionalista Lorenzo Sumulong returns to the Senate after last serving in 1967.
Three senators lost their reelection bids: Juan Liwag and Tecla San Andres Ziga of the Liberals, and Nacionalistas' Rodolfo Ganzon.
