Thelegislative districts of Pampanga are the representations of theprovince ofPampanga and thehighly urbanized city ofAngeles in thevarious national legislatures of thePhilippines. At present, the province and the city are represented in theHouse of Representatives of the Philippines by itsfour congressional districts.
Pampanga was initially composed of one representative district, wherein it electedfour representatives, at large, to theMalolos Congress in1898. It was later divided into two representative districts in 1907 for thePhilippine Assembly;[1] it remained so until 1941. When seats for theupper house of thePhilippine Legislature were elected from territory-based districts between 1916 and 1935, the province formed part of thethird senatorial district which elected two out of the 24-member senate.
In the disruption caused by theSecond World War, Pampanga was represented bytwo delegates in theNational Assembly of the Japanese-sponsoredSecond Philippine Republic: one was theprovincial governor (anex officio member), while the other was elected through a citywide assembly ofKALIBAPI members during theJapanese occupation of the Philippines. Upon the restoration of thePhilippine Commonwealth in 1945, Pampanga's pre-war two-district representation was retained; this remained so until 1972.
The province and the chartered city of Angeles were represented in theInterim Batasang Pambansa as part ofRegion III from 1978 to 1984, and together electedfour representatives at-large to theRegular Batasang Pambansa from 1984 to 1986. Pampanga (with the highly urbanized city of Angeles) was redistricted into fourcongressional districts under the new Constitution[2] which took effect on February 7, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives startingthat same year.
The province's current congressional delegation is composed of two members ofLakas–CMD, one member of theNacionalista Party and one member of thePartido Federal ng Pilipinas. Among the four incumbent representatives is former president of the Philippines,Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. All four representatives are part of the majority bloc in the20th Congress.
