The legislative district of Taguig is the representation of the western part of the highly urbanized city of Taguig in the Congress of the Philippines. The city is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress through its lone congressional district.
Areas now under the jurisdiction of Taguig were initially represented as part of the first district of Rizal in 1907, and remained so until 1972. Taguig was separated from Rizal on November 7, 1975 by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824, [1] and was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa along with other Metropolitan Manila municipalities and cities as part of Region IV from 1978 to 1984.
Taguig, still a municipality then, was grouped with Muntinlupa and Pateros to form a single parliamentary district which returned one representative to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. The municipality was grouped with Pateros again to form one congressional district under the new Constitution [2] proclaimed on February 11, 1987; it elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
The western area of Taguig, coterminous with the Second Councilor District of Taguig (for the purpose of electing municipal, now city, council members), was separated from the congressional district of Pateros–Taguig by virtue of Republic Act No. 8487, [3] the law which converted Taguig into a highly urbanized city. Despite being enacted by Congress on February 11, 1998, the said law only took effect on December 8, 2004 after the Commission on Elections issued a resolution confirming that the affirmative votes for cityhood prevailed in the ballot recount. [4] This new district first elected its separate representative in the 2007 general elections.
There remains an unresolved dispute over which city has jurisdiction over lands encompassed within the former Fort McKinley U.S. Military Reservation (now Fort Bonifacio and its surrounding areas). Portions of three of Taguig's barangays (Fort Bonifacio, Pinagsama and Western Bicutan) are claimed by the neighboring city of Makati as part of its own two barangays (Post Proper Northside and Post Proper Southside). Residents of areas where Taguig exercises de facto control vote as part of this congressional district, while residents of areas where Makati exercises de facto control vote as part of its second congressional district.
