Iloilo City's at-large congressional district is the city-wide electoral district in Iloilo City, Philippines. It has been electing representatives at-large to the House of Representatives since 1987 and earlier to the National Assembly from 1943 to 1944.[2]
The district was first formed ahead of the 1943 Philippine legislative election following the ratification of the Second Philippine Republic constitution which called for a unicameral legislature composed of delegates from all provinces and chartered cities in the country.[3] Iloilo, a chartered city since 1936, elected Fortunato R. Ybiernas to the National Assembly, who was joined by then-mayor Vicente R. Ybiernas as an appointed second delegate.[4] The district became inactive following the restoration of the House of Representatives in 1945 when the city reverted to its old provincial constituency of Iloilo's 2nd congressional district.[2] In the unicameral Batasang Pambansa that replaced the House, Iloilo City was not entitled to its own separate representation despite being a highly-urbanized city. Instead, it formed part of the multi-member Region VI's at-large district for the interim parliament from 1978 to 1984 and Iloilo's at-large district in the regular parliament from 1984 to 1986.[2] The city-wide electoral district was only restored in 1987 under a new constitution.[5]
The district is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Julienne L. Baronda of the Lakas–CMD.[6]
