Legislative districts of Marikina

The legislative districts of Marikina are the representations of the highly urbanized city of Marikina in the Congress of the Philippines. The city is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress through its first and second congressional districts.

History

From 1907 until 1972, it was represented as part of the first district of Rizal. It was part of the representation of Region IV in the Interim Batasang Pambansa from 1978 to 1984. It was grouped with Pasig from 1984 to 1986 for representation in the Regular Batasang Pambansa, as part of the Legislative district of Pasig–Marikina. Marikina was given its own representation in the restored House of Representatives in 1987, and was divided into two districts after an amendment (Republic Act No. 9364[1]) to its city charter (Republic Act No. 8223[2]) was approved on December 15, 2006.
