AN ACT REAPPORTIONING THE FIRST LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 
OF THE CITY OF CALOOCAN INTO TWO (2) LEGISLATIVE
DISTRICTS
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On 15 October 1986, an Ordinance was adopted by the framers of the 1987 
Constitution which reapportions the seats of the House of Representatives to the 
different legisiative districts in provinces and cities, and the Metropolitan Manila Area. 
Under Section 1 thereof, the City of Caloocan was allocated two (2) seats, whereby 
the First District shall be composed of seventy (70) barangays, all of Caloocan North 
of EDSA, while the Second District shall consist of one hundred seventy-seven (177) 
barangays, all of Caloocan South of EDSA.
Based on the 2015 Census of Population of the Philippine Statistics Authority, 
Caloocan City has a total population of One Million Five Hundred Eighty-Three 
Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Eight (1,583,978), or an increase of Nine Hundred 
Thirty-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Eight (938,978). Of this city's total 
population, 75.34% or 1,193,419 live in the First Legislative District of the city and the 
rest reside in the Second Legislative District. As a result, there is a disproportion in the 
City's entitlement to proportionate representation in the House of Representatives, 
since the current assignment of seats does not bode well for the purpose and standards 
set out in Section 5, Article VI of the 1987 Constitution. Hence, This bill seeks to 
reapportion the First Legislative District of Caloocan City into two (2) legislative 
districts.
In view of the foregoing, the speedy passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
