The Interim Batasang Pambansa (IBP; English: Interim National Assembly) was the national legislature of the Philippines from June 12, 1978, until June 5, 1984. Established under the 1973 Constitution, it served as a transitional legislative body during the country's shift from a presidential to a parliamentary-oriented system of government.
The IBP was preceded by the Interim National Assembly, a de jure legislative body provided for in the original text of the 1973 Constitution. However, it was never convened and was effectively superseded by a series of nine constitutional amendments ratified in a referendum-plebiscite held on October 16–17, 1976.[1]
