Leyte's 3rd 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 old provincial capital, Leyte, and adjacent municipalities of Calubian, San Isidro, Tabango and Villaba. It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Anna Victoria V. Tuazon of the National Unity Party (NUP). [4]
Until 1931, it consisted of the north-central municipalities of Abuyog, Barugo, Burauen, Capoocan, Carigara, Dagami, Hinunangan, Hinundayan, Jaro, La Paz, and Pastrana. Following the creation of the fifth district, it was redefined to consist of the southern municipalities of undivided Leyte that now form part of Southern Leyte, [5] until they were transferred to the new province's at-large district in 1961, three years after its establishment. The district was subsequently redefined to consist of the sub-province of Biliran and the northern municipalities of Calubian, Isabel, Leyte, Matag-ob, Merida, Palompon, San Isidro, Tabango, and Villaba, all previously from the first district, from 1961 until its second dissolution in 1972. [6] Re-established in 1987, it included its current northern municipalities and the sub-province of Biliran until 1995, when Biliran gained provincial status and separate representation in 1992.
