# Pampanga's 2nd congressional district

Pampanga's 2nd congressional district is one of the four congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Pampanga. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1916 and earlier in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916. The district consists of the western Pampanga municipalities of Floridablanca, Guagua, Lubao, Porac, Santa Rita and Sasmuan since 1987. Until 1972, it encompassed the eastern Pampanga municipalities of Apalit, Arayat, Candaba, Mabalacat, Magalang, Mexico, Minalin, San Fernando, San Luis, San Simon, Santa Ana, and Santo Tomas. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of the Lakas–CMD (Lakas).
This district has the distinction of being the only one ever represented by someone who had previously served as president of the Philippines, as Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo represents this district after leaving the presidency from 2010 to 2019 and again since 2022.
