Valenzuela's 2nd congressional district is one of the two congressional districts of the Philippines in the city of Valenzuela. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 2001.[3] The district was created following Valenzuela's conversion into a highly urbanised city through Republic Act No. 8526 on February 14, 1998.[4] It consists of nine barangays in the southern part of the city, namely Bagbaguin, General T. de Leon, Karuhatan, Mapulang Lupa, Marulas, Maysan, Parada, Paso de Blas, and Ugong. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Eric M. Martinez of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP).[5]
