Abstract

Weighted co-authorship networks were constructed from legislation produced during the eighth (8^th) to the 14^th Congresses of the Philippines. The edges of these co-authorship networks were weighted based on the number of bills co-authored by the representatives acting as nodes. The edge weight distributions of the 13^th-14^th congresses have negative kurtosis unlike the eighth to the 12^th Congresses. The 8^th, 13^th, and 14^th Congresses’ edge weight distributions were skewed to the left while the other Congresses’ distributions were skewed to the right. The 8^th Congress had community modularity an order of magnitude smaller than other Congresses possibly indicating low partisanship.
