The three congressional awards conferred by the House of Representatives are:


 * Congressional Medal of Achievement (CMA): for "political, economic, and cultural leaders, who have distinguished themselves through their life-work and their vision" (2002).
 * Congressional Medal of Distinction (CMD): for Filipino achievers in sports, business, medicine, science, and arts and culture.
 * Congressional Medal of Excellence (CME): For "exceptional modern-day national heroes in sports who win the gold medal in the Olympics". The award was instituted as a response to Hidilyn Diaz winning the Philippines' first ever Olympic gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics. (2021)
