Maguindanao's 2nd congressional district was one of the two congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of undivided Maguindanao. It was represented in the House of Representatives from 1987–2022.^[3] The district covered 25 interior municipalities of eastern Maguindanao bordering the provinces of Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat, including its capital Buluan.^[4] From 2006 to 2008, the district was briefly replaced by the lone district of Maguindanao after a new province was carved out of the 1st district known as Shariff Kabunsuan which was eventually nullified by the Supreme Court. It was last represented in the 19th Congress by Mohamad P. Paglas of the Nacionalista Party (NP), who was later redistricted to the at-large district of the newly-established province of Maguindanao del Sur.^[5]
