Catanduanes's at-large congressional district, also known as Catanduanes's lone district, is the sole
congressional district of the Philippines in the province of Catanduanes. Catanduanes has been represented in the country's various national legislatures since 1898.[3] Since 1946 when it was reorganized as an independent province separate from Albay, Catanduanes has been entitled to one member in the House of Representatives of the Philippines, elected provincewide at-large, except for the period under the Fourth Philippine Republic between 1978 and 1984 when its representation was absorbed by the regional at-large assembly district of Region V.[4]
The district is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Leo Rodriguez, who is an independent.[5]
