Senate Approves New Legislative District for Southern Leyte

The Senate approved the creation of a new legislative district for Southern Leyte last January 10,
2019. It was in 2017 when the House of Representatives’ new legislative district for Southern Leyte was
proposed. The bill for this new legislative district, once signed into law, would provide for the election of
its own congressional representative. House Bill 6331 seeks to divide Southern Leyte into two legislative
districts from the current one. Under the bill, the first legislative district would be composed of Maasin City
and the municipalities of Macrohon, Padre Burgos, Limasawa, Malitbog, Tomas Oppus, and Bontoc. The
second district would be composed of the municipalities of Sogod, Libagon, Liloan, San Francisco, Pintuyan,
San Ricardo, Saint Bernard, Anahawan, San Juan, Hinundayan, Hinunangan, and Silago. The House of
Representatives has 299 members and this number is expected to increase once this bill is signed into law
by President Duterte and after the mid-term 2019 national and local elections. (JACKY LOU BALAGA,
