In the [[Southern Rhodesia]] Legislative Assembly, Independent member [[Ahrn Palley]] staged a similar filibuster against the Law and Order Maintenance Bill on November 22, 1960, although this took the form of moving a long series of amendments to the Bill, and therefore consisted of multiple individual speeches interspersed with comments from other Members. Palley kept the Assembly sitting from 8 PM to 12:30 PM the following day.

In the [[Senate of the Philippines]], [[Roseller Lim]] of the [[Nacionalista Party]] held out the longest filibuster in Philippine Senate history.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} On the election for the [[President of the Senate of the Philippines]] in April 1963, he stood on the podium for more than 18 hours to wait for party-mate [[Alejandro Almendras]] who was to arrive from the United States. The Nacionalistas, who comprised exactly half of the Senate, wanted to prevent the election of [[Ferdinand Marcos]] to the Senate Presidency. Prohibited from even going to the comfort room, he had to relieve in his pants until Almendras' arrival. He voted for party-mate [[Eulogio Rodriguez]] just as Almendras arrived, and had to be carried off via stretcher out of the session hall due to exhaustion. However, Almendras voted for Marcos, and the latter wrested the Senate Presidency from the Nacionalistas after more than a decade of control.<ref name="Lim-Inquirer">{{cite news| url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Ulc1AAAAIBAJ&sjid=iSUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2734%2C720400 |last=Mustafa |first=Noralyn. |title=Roseller T.
