Introduced by HON. RAMON BONG REVILLA, JR. 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
According to Article VI of the 1987 Constitution, to wit: 
Section 5.(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.” 
Section 5.(4) “Within three years following the return of every census, the 
Congress shall make a reapportionment of legislative districts based on the 
standards provided in this section.” 
In consonance with this constitutional mandate and in the interest of proper democratic 
representation of the people, particularly in the Province of Cavite, I am compelled to propose 
this legislative measure: the reapportionment of the Province of Cavite into seven (7) legislative 
districts. 
In the latest census (August 2007) conducted by the National Statistics Office, the 
Province of Cavite registered a population of 2,856,765, witti only tluee (3) legislative districts. 
Comparatively, Manila with a population of 1,403,664; Negros Occidental with 3,000,554; 
Pangasinail with 2,690,911; and Cebu with 3,707,212, has six (6) legislative districts each. 
Based on the geographical and population requirement provided for under Section 5 (3), 
of Article VI, the following are strongly proposed to comprise the seven (7) legislative districts: 
First District 
- Municipalities of Kawit, Noveleta and Rosario, and the City o f  Cavite; 
Second District - Municipality of Bacoor; 
Third District - Municipality of Imus; 
Fourth District - Municipality of Dasmarifias, 
Fifth District 
-Municipalities of Carmona, General Mariano Alvarez (GMA) and 
Silang; 
Sixth District - Municipalities of General Trias, Tanza and Amadeo, and City of Trece 
Martires; and 
Seventh District - Municipalities of Alfonso, General Aguinaldo, Indang, Magallanes, 
Maragondon, Mendez, Naic and Ternate, and the City of Tagaytay. 
Hence, passage of this bill is earnestly sought Pc
