The legislative district of Pateros–Taguig is the combined representation of the
lone congressional district
.
History
Areas now under the jurisdiction of Taguig and Pateros were initially represented as part of the
Metropolitan Manila municipalities and cities as part of Region IV
from 1978 to 1984.
Taguig and Pateros were grouped with
one representative to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Taguig and Pateros formed one congressional district under the new Constitution[2] proclaimed on February 11, 1987; it elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year
.
The western area of Taguig, coterminous with the Second Councilor District of Taguig (for the purpose of electing municipal, now city, council members), was separated to form a
separate congressional district by virtue of Republic Act No. 8487,[3] the law which converted Taguig into a highly urbanized city. Despite being enacted by Congress on February 11, 1998, the said law only took effect on December 8, 2004, after the Commission on Elections issued a resolution confirming that the affirmative votes for cityhood prevailed in the ballot recount.[4] This new district first elected its separate representative in the 2007 general elections
.
There was a boundary dispute over which city has jurisdiction over lands encompassed within the former Fort McKinley U.S. Military Reservation (now
Post Proper Southside). Residents of areas where Taguig exercise de facto control vote as part of its second congressional district except for areas under barangay Ususan, which is part of Taguig's 1st district, while residents of areas where Makati exercises de facto control vote as part of its second congressional district
