Special elections (known as "by-elections" elsewhere) to the House of Representatives of the Philippines were held on November 14, 1967, along with the 1967 Philippine Senate election. These were for vacancies in the 6th Congress of the Philippines; the winners were to serve the rest of the term, which had ended on December 30, 1969. Political parties were allowed to field multiple candidates per district; the Nacionalista Party won in all districts.

These were the last special elections until the proclamation of martial law by president Ferdinand Marcos in 1972. The next such special elections are to be in 1993, or seven years after Marcos was overthrown after the People Power Revolution.

Electoral system

All seats in the House of Representatives were elected from single member districts, under the first-past-the-post voting system.

The following seats were up for election

• Davao del Sur's at-large district
• Davao Oriental's at-large district
• Ilocos Norte's 1st district
• Northern Samar's at-large district
• South Cotabato's at-large district

In the cases of the special elections in Davao del Sur and Davao Oriental, it was due to the creation of these new provinces from the original Davao province. The congressman from the old Davao's at-large congressional district was free to choose which province he'd continue as an incumbent on. Lorenzo Sarmiento chose to continue at Davao del Norte, another newly created province, necessitating special elections in the other two provinces.

In South Cotabato, the law creating that province specified that the incumbent congressman of Cotabato's at-large congressional district (Salipada Pendatun) shall continue to serve as congressman of the original Cotabato province.
