Manila's 2nd congressional district is one of the six congressional districts of the Philippines in the city of Manila. 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 barangays 147 to 267 in the eastern part of the Manila district of Tondo (also known as Gagalangin), east of Dagupan Street, Estero de Vitas and Estero de Sunog Apog bordering Navotas and southern Caloocan.[4] It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Rolando M. Valeriano of the National Unity Party (NUP) and Asenso Manileño.[5]
Prior to the revision of Manila's city charter in 1949, it consisted of the southern and eastern Manila districts of Ermita, Malate, Paco, Pandacan, Quiapo, Sampaloc (including the present-day Santa Mesa), San Miguel, Santa Ana (including the present-day San Andres), and Santa Cruz. Following the revision and until its second dissolution in 1972, it retained Quiapo and Santa Cruz while Binondo and San Nicolas were added to its jurisdiction.[6] After the restoration of the Congress in 1987, it encompassed the eastern part of Tondo, which remains the case to the present.[4]
