Ilocos Sur's 3rd congressional district was one of the three congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Ilocos Sur in existence between 1907 and 1919. [1] It was created in 1907 from former territories of the province under Philippine Commission Act No. 1582 following the passage of the 1902 Philippine Organic Act. [2] The district was originally composed of the municipalities of Bangued, Bucay, Dolores, La Paz, Pilar, San Quintin and Santa, most of which were located in Abra, a sub-province of Ilocos Sur since 1905. [3] It was a single-member district throughout the three legislatures of the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916 and the first legislature of the House of Representatives from 1916 to 1919. [1]
The district was represented by a total of only three representatives throughout its brief existence. It was abolished in 1917 following the passage of Legislative Act No. 2683 which created the province of Abra. As a result, Santa remained in Ilocos Sur and was redistricted to the 2nd district, while the other towns became part of Abra and were redistricted to its new at-large district. [4] The district was last represented by Eustaquio Purugganan of the Nacionalista Party (NP), who also became the first representative of Abra's at-large congressional district following its dissolution.
