Davao del Sur's 2nd congressional district

{{short description|Legislative district of the Philippines}}

Davao del Sur's 2nd congressional district is an obsolete congressional district in Davao del Sur for the House of Representatives of the Philippines from 1987 to 2016.{{cite web |url=http://www.congress.gov.ph/legislators/?v=province |title=Roster of Philippine legislators |publisher=House of Representatives of the Philippines |accessdate=February 24, 2021 |archive-date=March 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170316064243/http://congress.gov.ph/legislators/?v=province |url-status=dead }} The district encompassed eight southern local government units of the previously undivided province, most of which now constitute the province of Davao Occidental.{{cite web|url=https://www.chanrobles.com/ordinance.htm |title=The 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines |publisher=Chan Robles Virtual Law Library |accessdate=February 24, 2021}} It was created ahead of the 1987 Philippine House of Representatives elections following the ratification of the 1987 constitution which established two districts for Davao del Sur and another three districts for Davao City. Prior to the 1987 apportionment, Davao del Sur residents elected their representatives to the national legislatures on a provincewide basis through the Davao del Sur's at-large congressional district. The district was last contested at the 2013 Philippine House of Representatives elections. Davao del Sur returned to electing its representatives at-large in 2016 after losing most of its southern territory to the province of Davao Occidental created by Republic Act No. 10360 on January 4, 2013.{{cite web |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/2013/01/14/republic-act-no-10360/ |title=Republic Act No. 10360 |publisher=Official Gazette (Philippines) |accessdate=February 24, 2021 |archive-date=November 10, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171110040144/http://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/2013/01/14/republic-act-no-10360/ |url-status=dead }}
