The city and municipality are currently represented in the lower house of the Congress through their [|lone congressional district].

History

Areas now under the jurisdiction of Taguig and Pateros were initially represented as part of the first district of Rizal in 1907, and remained so until 1972. Taguig and Pateros, both municipalities then, were separated from Rizal on November 7, 1975 by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824, and was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa along with other Metropolitan Manila municipalities and cities as part of Region IV from 1978 to 1984.
Taguig and Pateros were grouped with Muntinlupa to form a single parliamentary district which returned one representative to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Taguig and Pateros formed one congressional district under the new Constitution proclaimed on February 11, 1987; it elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
The western area of Taguig, coterminous with the Second Councilor District of Taguig, was separated to form a separate congressional district by virtue of Republic Act No. 8487, the law which converted Taguig into a highly urbanized city. Despite being enacted by Congress on February 11, 1998, the said law only took effect on December 8, 2004 after the Commission on Elections issued a resolution confirming that the affirmative votes for cityhood prevailed in the ballot recount. This new district first elected its separate representative in the 2007 general elections.
