History

From 1907 the sub-province Siquijor was represented as part of the second district of Negros Oriental. Negros Oriental and the sub-province of Siquijor were represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region VII from 1978 to 1984.

Siquijor's first representative was elected in 1984, after it was established as a regular province on September 17, 1971 through Republic Act No. 6398. [1] The province elected one representative to the Regular Batasang Pambansa from 1984 to 1986. Siquijor retained its lone district under the new Constitution [2] which took effect on February 7, 1987, and elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.

Siquijors at-large congressional district District of the Philippines

Siquijor's at-large congressional district is the provincewide electoral district in Siquijor, Philippines. The province has been represented in the country's national legislatures since 1984. It first elected a representative at-large during the 1984 Philippine parliamentary election following the restoration of provincial and city district representation in the Batasang Pambansa where Siquijor had previously been included in the regionwide representation of Central Visayas for the interim parliament. The province, created by the 1971 separation of Siquijor Island from Negros Oriental, was formerly represented as part of that province's 2nd district in earlier legislatures. Since the 1987 restoration of Congress following the ratification of a new constitution, Siquijor has been entitled to one member in the House of Representatives. It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Jake Vincent S. Villa of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC).
