Bulacan's 2nd congressional district is one of the seven congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Bulacan . 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 the city of Baliwag and the municipalities of Bustos and Plaridel . It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Tina Pancho of the National Unity Party (NUP).[ 4]
Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the second district encompassed the eastern Bulacan municipalities of Angat , Baliuag (Baliwag), Bocaue , Marilao , Meycauayan , Norzagaray , Obando , San Ildefonso , San Jose del Monte , San Miguel , San Rafael , Santa Maria , and Valenzuela (formerly Polo).[ 5] It also included the municipality of Polo, which last consisted of the northern portion of the present-day Valenzuela,[ 6] until it was merged with Valenzuela in 1963.[ 7] Following the restoration of the Congress in 1987, the district was reconfigured to encompass Balagtas , Baliwag, Bocaue, Bustos, Guiguinto , Pandi , and Plaridel, amid the addition of two districts for Bulacan.[ 8] [ 9] Balagtas, Bocaue, Guiguinto, and Pandi were later excised from the district to form the fifth district effective 2022, leaving it with three in its current jurisdiction.[ 10]
