Iloilo City's at-large congressional district is the city-wide electoral district in Iloilo City, Philippines. It has been electing representatives at-large to the House of Representatives since 1987 and earlier to the National Assembly from 1943 to 1944.[3]
The district was first formed ahead of the
Batasang Pambansa that replaced the House, Iloilo City was not entitled to its own separate representation despite being a highly-urbanized city. Instead, it formed part of the multi-member Region VI's at-large district for the interim parliament from 1978 to 1984 and Iloilo's at-large district in the regular parliament from 1984 to 1986.[3] The city-wide electoral district was only restored in 1987 under a new constitution.[6]
The district is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Julienne L. Baronda of the National Unity Party (NUP).[7]
