EXPLANATORY NOTE

AN ACT REAPPORTIONING THE SECOND DISTRICT OF ZAMBOANGA CITY
INTO TWO LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS

Congress has the power to reapportion legislative districts based on the 1987 Constitution,
Article VI Section 5 Paragraphs 3 and 4, which states that:

(3.) Each legislative district shall comprise, as far as practicable, contiguous, compact,
and adjacent territory. Each city with a population of at least two hundred fifty thousand, or
each province, shall have at least one representative.

(4.) Within three years following the retum of every census, the Congress shall make a
reapportionment of legislative districts based on the standards provided in this section.

This bill proposes for the reapportionment of the Second District of Zamboanga City into two
Legislative Districts. Based on the 2015 census, the Second District of Zamboanga City
comprised of sixty-one (61) barangays has a total population of four hundred fifty-nine
thousand two hundred five (459,205).

It is for this reason that the need to have an additional representation has to be addressed
through the reapportionment of the Second District of Zamboanga City into two Legislative
Districts. Once passed into law, the additional district will provide access and at the same time
improve the delivery of government services and implementation of programs, projects and
activities for the Zamboanguefios.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
