Laguna's 2nd congressional district is one of the seven congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Laguna, formerly La Laguna. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1916 and earlier in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916.[3] The district consists of the city of Cabuyao and adjacent municipalities of Bay and Los Baños. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Ruth Mariano-Hernandez of the Lakas–CMD.[4]
Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the district encompassed the eastern Laguna municipalities of Cavinti, Famy, Kalayaan, Liliw, Luisiana, Lumban, Mabitac, Magdalena, Majayjay, Nagcarlan, Paete, Pagsanjan, Pakil, Pangil, Rizal, Santa Cruz (the provincial capital), Santa Maria, and Siniloan. Following the restoration of the Congress in 1987, it encompassed the southwestern Laguna municipalities of Bay, Cabuyao, Calamba, and Los Baños, with the creation of two additional districts in Laguna.[5][6] Calamba was later separated from the district to form its own representation beginning in 2019; however, it remains part of the 2nd Sangguniang Panlalawigan district for the purpose of electing members of the Laguna Provincial Board.[7]
