History

Prior to gaining separate representation, areas now under the jurisdiction of Surigao del Sur were represented under the former province of Surigao (1907–1961).

The enactment of Republic Act No. 2786 on June 19, 1960 split the old Surigao province into Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur, and provided the new provinces separate representations in Congress. [1] The new province of Surigao del Sur first elected its own representative in the 1961 elections.

Surigao del Sur was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region XI from 1978 to 1984, and returned one representative, elected at large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. The province was reapportioned into two congressional districts under the new Constitution [2] which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
