Iloilo's 2nd congressional district is one of the five congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Iloilo. 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 municipalities of Alimodian, Leganes, Leon, New Lucena, Pavia, San Miguel, Santa Barbara and Zarraga. Until 1995, it previously included the former sub-province of Guimaras, which became a separate province in 1992. Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, it was composed of Iloilo City, the southern Iloilo municipalities of Leganes and Pavia, and the sub-province of Guimaras. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Michael B. Gorriceta of the Nacionalista Party (NP).[4]
