Thelegislative districts of Cavite are the representations of theprovince ofCavite in thevarious national and local legislatures of thePhilippines. At present, the province is represented in theHouse of Representatives of the Philippines by itseight congressional districts, with the districts' representatives being elected every three years. The congressional districts are coextensive with the provincial board districts, where each district is allotted two seats in theCavite Provincial Board, creating a total of sixteen elective seats in the legislature.

History

[edit]

Cavite initially comprised a single district in 1898, when it elected four representatives to theMalolos Congress that lasted until 1899. The district was recreated in 1907 for thePhilippine Assembly,[1] this time electing one representative at-large. When seats for theupper house of thePhilippine Legislature were elected from territory-based districts between 1916 and 1935, the province formed part of thefifth senatorial district which elected two out of the 24-member senate.

In the disruption caused by theSecond World War,two delegates represented the province in theNational Assembly of the Japanese-sponsoredSecond Philippine Republic: one was the provincial governor (anex officio member), while the other was elected through a provincial assembly ofKALIBAPI members during theJapanese occupation of the Philippines.Cavite City, being a chartered city, wasrepresented separately in this short-lived legislative body.Tagaytay, the province's other chartered city, was placed under provincial jurisdiction during the war and was not represented separately. Upon the restoration of thePhilippine Commonwealth in 1945, the province and its two cities reverted to the pre-war lone district representation.

The province was represented in theInterim Batasang Pambansa as part ofRegion IV-A from 1978 to 1984, and returnedthree representatives, elected at large, to theRegular Batasang Pambansa in1984. Cavite was reapportioned into threecongressional districts under the new Constitution[2] which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives startingthat same year.

The passage of Republic Act No. 9727[3] on October 22, 2009, increased the number of the province's representatives from three to seven, starting in the2010 elections. However, the conversion ofDasmariñas into a city has resulted in an additional legal name for thefourth district, which became theLone District of Dasmariñas after the ratification of Republic Act No. 9723[4] on November 25, 2009.

Meanwhile, despite the conversion ofBacoor andImus into cities in 2012, their charters explicitly indicate the retention of their numerical designations as thesecond[5] andthird districts[6] of the province.

Republic Act No. 11069, signed into law on September 17, 2018, reapportioned Cavite into eight legislative districts — the most for any province — by creating a separate legislative district for the newly converted city ofGeneral Trias.[7] This effectively supersedes RA No. 9723 and confirms the sole legal designation of the congressional district ofDasmariñas as thefourth district of Cavite.

Current congressional districts

[edit]

The province's current congressional delegation composes of five members of theNational Unity Party, two members ofLakas–CMD, and one member of theNationalist People's Coalition.
