Manila's at-large congressional district

Add article description

Manila's at-large congressional district may refer to three occasions when a city-wide or provincewide at-large district was used for elections to the various Philippine national legislatures from Manila.

From 1898 to 1901, four representatives from the province of Manila who were elected at-large sat in the Malolos Congress, the National Assembly of the First Philippine Republic.[1] In 1901, the province was abolished and incorporated into the new province of Rizal, while the city remained intact. Both later elected their representatives from two districts each. From 1943 to 1944, the city of greater Manila as a whole sent two representatives to the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic.[2] Multiple district representation was restored in the city in 1945. In 1978, regional at-large assembly districts were created for the national parliament with Manila included in the 21-seat Region IV's at-large district. The city returned to its own single multi-member at-large district in 1984 with a six-seat delegation for the Regular Batasang Pambansa of the Fourth Philippine Republic.[3]

After 1986, Manila elected its representatives from its six congressional districts.[4]
