Overview
Defining Electoral Divisions
The Congressional districts of the Philippines are the designated electoral districts or constituencies established for the purpose of electing members to the House of Representatives. These districts are fundamental to the country's legislative framework, ensuring regional representation in the national government. As of 2022, the nation is segmented into 254 such districts.
Dual Representation System
The House of Representatives comprises 317 members. Of these, 254 are directly elected from the congressional districts. The remaining 63 members are chosen through a system of party-list proportional representation, designed to ensure representation for various sectoral groups and political parties that might not win district elections. This hybrid system aims to balance geographical and sectoral representation.
Population and Provincial Basis
Each congressional district is mandated to represent a population of at least 250,000 individuals or encompass an entire province. This criterion ensures a baseline level of representation, preventing disproportionately small districts while also acknowledging the administrative integrity of provinces. The delineation of these districts is a critical aspect of maintaining equitable political voice across the archipelago.
Structure
Contiguous and Compact Territories
Philippine congressional districts are designed as contiguous and compact territories. This principle dictates that districts should form an unbroken geographical area, and where feasible, be composed of adjacent local government units. This design minimizes gerrymandering and aims for logical and manageable electoral boundaries, fostering a stronger connection between representatives and their constituents.
Single-Member Districts
Each congressional district operates as a single-member district, meaning it elects only one representative to the lower chamber of Congress. The election process employs a first-past-the-post voting system, where the candidate who receives the most votes in a district wins the seat. This system emphasizes direct accountability to the district's voters.
Term Limits and Service
Elected representatives from these districts serve a maximum of three consecutive three-year terms. This constitutional provision aims to prevent the entrenchment of political dynasties and encourage new leadership, while still allowing for sufficient time for representatives to gain experience and implement their legislative agendas.
Apportionment
Census-Driven Reapportionment
The determination of the number of congressional districts for each province or city is a constitutionally mandated process known as apportionment. This critical task relies on the figures derived from the quinquennial census conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority. The census provides the demographic data necessary to ensure that representation remains proportional to population shifts across the country.
Constitutional Evolution
The 1987 Constitution initially stipulated a maximum of 200 congressional districts, accounting for 80 percent of the then-maximum 250 seats in the lower house. The remaining 20 percent, or 50 seats, were allocated for sectoral or party-list representatives. However, this initial framework has undergone revisions through the enactment of subsequent laws, particularly pursuant to the 1991 Local Government Code, which has led to the creation of additional districts to better reflect demographic changes and local governance needs.

History
Constitutional Foundations
The framework for congressional districts in the Philippines is deeply rooted in its constitutional history. The 1987 Constitution laid down the initial guidelines, stipulating a maximum of 200 districts to constitute 80% of the House of Representatives, with the remaining 20% reserved for party-list representatives. This foundational document established the principles of direct district representation alongside a mechanism for broader sectoral inclusion.
Evolution and Expansion
Since the adoption of the 1987 Constitution, the number and configuration of congressional districts have not remained static. The dynamic nature of population growth and shifts, coupled with the evolving needs of local governance, necessitated adjustments. The enactment of various laws, particularly those stemming from the 1991 Local Government Code, has led to the creation of additional districts. This ongoing process reflects the legislative body's efforts to ensure that representation remains relevant and responsive to the demographic realities of the nation.
