Leyte's 4th 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 city of Ormoc and adjacent municipalities of Albuera, Isabel, Kananga, Matag-ob, Merida and Palompon since 1987. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Richard Gomez of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP). [4] [5]
Until 1931, the district consisted of the northeastern municipalities of Alangalang, Babatngon, Dulag, Palo, San Miguel, Tacloban, Tanauan, and Tolosa. Following the creation of the fifth district where Alangalang was added, the municipalities of Abuyog and Santa Fe were reapportioned into this district. [6] MacArthur, Mahaplag, and Mayorga were later established after the district's re-creation in 1945. Following the creation of Southern Leyte in 1959, these areas under this district were reapportioned to the first district, and the district was redefined to consist of the city of Ormoc and the western municipalities of Albuera, Bato, Baybay, Hilongos, Hindang, Inopacan, Kananga, and Matalom, all previously from the second district, from 1961 until its second dissolution in 1972.
