Laguna's 1st congressional district

Laguna's 1st congressional district is one of the six congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Laguna, formerly La Laguna. 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 currently consists the northwestern city of San Pedro. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Ann Matibag of Lakas–CMD.[4][5]

Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the district encompassed western Laguna municipalities of Alaminos, Bay, Biñan, Cabuyao, Calamba, Calauan, Los Baños, Pila, San Pablo, San Pedro, Santa Rosa, and Victoria. Following the restoration of the Congress in 1987, it was reduced to three municipalities: Biñan, San Pedro, and Santa Rosa.[6][7] Years later, Biñan and Santa Rosa, now cities, would later gain separate representation, effective 2016 and 2022,[8][9] respectively, leaving San Pedro as the only city within its congressional jurisdiction. However, both cities remain in the 1st Sangguniang Panlalawigan district for the purpose of electing members of the Laguna Provincial Board.
