# South Cotabato's 2nd congressional district

South Cotabato's 2nd congressional district is one of the two congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of South Cotabato. It has been represented in the House of Representatives since 1987. The district covers the provincial capital city, Koronadal, and seven adjacent municipalities, namely Banga, Lake Sebu, Norala, Santo Niño, Surallah, Tantangan and T'boli. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Peter Miguel of the Lakas–CMD.
Beginning in 2025, Lake Sebu, Norala, Santo Niño, Surallah, and T'boli will be represented under the recreated third district, pursuant to a 2022 law reapportioning South Cotabato.
