Manila's at-large congressional district
{{short description|Legislative district of the Philippines}}
Manila's at-large congressional district may refer to three occasions when a city-wide or provincewide at-large district was used for elections to the various Philippine national legislatures from Manila.
From 1898 to 1901, four representatives from the province of Manila who were elected at-large sat in the Malolos Congress, the National Assembly of the First Philippine Republic.{{cite web|url=https://officialgazette.gov.ph/downloads/1898/06jun/18980618-English-Aguinaldo-Establishing-Dictatorial-Government.pdf |title=Decree of June 18, 1898, establishing the Dictatorial Government |publisher=Official Gazette (Philippines) |accessdate=February 10, 2021}} In 1901, the province was abolished and incorporated into the new province of Rizal, while the city remained intact. Both later elected their representatives from two districts each. From 1943 to 1944, the city of greater Manila as a whole sent two representatives to the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic.{{cite web|url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/constitutions/the-1943-constitution/ |title=The 1943 Constitution |publisher=Official Gazette (Philippines) |accessdate=February 10, 2021}} Multiple district representation was restored in the city in 1945. In 1978, regional at-large assembly districts were created for the national parliament with Manila included in the 21-seat Region IV's at-large district. The city returned to its own single multi-member at-large district in 1984 with a six-seat delegation for the Regular Batasang Pambansa of the Fourth Philippine Republic.{{cite web|url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1984/02/01/proclamation-no-2332-s-1984/ |title=Proclamation No. 2332, s. 1984 |date=February 1984 |publisher=Official Gazette (Philippines) |accessdate=February 10, 2021}}
After 1986, Manila elected its representatives from its six congressional districts.{{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 10, 2021}}
