Quezon's 1st congressional district is one of the four congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Quezon, formerly Tayabas. 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 Tayabas and adjacent municipalities of Burdeos, General Nakar, Infanta, Jomalig, Lucban, Mauban, Pagbilao, Panukulan, Patnanungan, Polillo, Real and Sampaloc. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC). [4]
Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the first district encompassed the western Quezon municipalities of Burdeos, Candelaria, Dolores, General Nakar, Infanta, Jomalig, Lucban, Lucena, Mauban, Pagbilao, Panukulan, Patnanungan, Polillo, Real, Sampaloc, San Antonio, Sariaya, Tayabas, and Tiaong, the then-sub-province of Aurora, [5] and, from 1917 to 1922, the municipality of Laguimanoc (now Padre Burgos). After the establishment of Aurora as an independent province in 1979, it was reduced from 27 to encompass 13 municipalities in the northern and central part of the reduced province of Quezon beginning in 1987. This configuration remains in place to date. [6] [7]
