# Cebu's 7th congressional district

Cebu's 7th congressional district is one of the seven congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Cebu. It was represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines from 1916 to 1972, and again since 2016. It was also earlier represented in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916. The district consists of the southwestern municipalities of Alcantara, Alegria, Badian, Dumanjug, Ginatilan, Malabuyoc, Moalboal and Ronda.
