rdf:langString Otso Diretso (transl. Straight Eight IPA: [ɔtʃɔ dɪrɛtʃɔ]), initially called the Oposisyon Koalisyon (transl. Opposition Coalition) was an electoral alliance formed to field candidates for the 2019 Philippine general election, in opposition to President Rodrigo Duterte. Otso Diretso fielded eight candidates (otso is the Filipino language literal translation of the Spanish word for "eight" or ocho) for the Senate election from the Liberal, Akbayan, Magdalo Party-List, and Aksyon Demokratiko parties. Senator Francis Pangilinan, president of the Liberal Party, served as the campaign manager. None of the eight senatorial candidates under Otso Diretso won a seat. It was the first time in the history of the current bicameral composition of the Philippine Congress under the 1987 Constitution that the opposition failed to win a seat in one of the chambers, and the first time since the 1938 election that the opposition failed to win a single seat in a legislative election.
