He was the 24th Senate President of the Philippines from July 25, 2022 to May 20, 2024. He is currently on his third term in the Senate, first serving from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2016 to 2022. He previously served as the Senate Majority Leader from 2008 to 2010 and 2018 to 2022,^[3][4] and was the representative of Bukidnon's 3rd district from 1998 to 2007.

He is also the current chairman of the Philippine Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation^[5] and the vice chairman of the Philippine Red Cross.^[6]

Zubiri resigned from the Senate in August 2011 following allegations of poll fraud during the 2007 elections and an electoral protest filed by Koko Pimentel. He continued to deny the allegations.^{[7][8][9][10]} His resignation marked a first in Senate history, as other senators who left the Senate did so in order to take up another post in public office.^[11]
