Leyte's 2nd congressional district is one of the five congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Leyte. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1916 and earlier in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916. [3] The district consists of the central municipalities of Barugo, Burauen, Capoocan, Carigara, Dagami, Dulag, Jaro, Julita, La Paz, MacArthur, Mayorga, Pastrana, Tabontabon and Tunga since its second restoration in 1987. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Lolita Javier of the Nacionalista Party (NP). [4]

Contents

Until 1931, it consisted of southern municipalities of undivided Leyte: Bato, Hilongos, Hindang, Inopacan, and Matalom, and present-day Southern Leyte municipalities of Cabalian (now San Juan), Libagon, Liloan, Maasin, Macrohon, Malitbog, Pintuyan, and Sogod. Following the creation of the fifth district, Albuera, Baybay, and Ormoc were added from the first district, while the present-day Southern Leyte municipalities were redistricted to the third district; [5] Kananga was later established out of Ormoc in 1950. [6] Following the creation of Southern Leyte in 1959, these areas were moved to the fourth district, with the central municipalities from the fifth district, such as Alangalang, Barugo, Burauen, Capoocan, Carigara, Dagami, Jaro, Julita, La Paz, Pastrana, Tabontabon, and Tunga, forming the redefined second district from 1961 until its second dissolution in 1972.
