Masbate's at-large congressional district
Masbate's at-large congressional district refers to the lone
Third Philippine Republic from 1946 to 1972.[1]
Masbate was allocated an additional seat on three separate occasions in its history. From 1898 to 1901, the province, then known as Masbate y Ticao, was represented by two members in the National Assembly (Malolos Congress) of the First Philippine Republic, with a separate representation for the then island province of Burias. It also sent two representatives to the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic from 1943 to 1944 and the national parliament of the Fourth Philippine Republic from 1984 to 1986.
After 1986, all representatives were elected from its congressional districts.[1]
