Southern Leyte's at-large congressional district


Southern Leyte's at-large congressional district refers to the lone congressional district of the Philippines in the province of Southern Leyte. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1961. Southern Leyte first elected a single representative provincewide at-large for the 5th Congress of the Third Philippine Republic following its creation as a regular province separate from Leyte under Republic Act No. 2227 on May 22, 1959. Before 1959, its territory was represented as part of Leyte's at-large, 2nd and 3rd districts. Between 1978 and 1984, multi-seat regional delegations were formed in lieu of provinces for the Fourth Philippine Republic parliament known as the Interim Batasang Pambansa, with Southern Leyte forming part of the ten-seat Region VIII's at-large district. It was restored as a single-member district in 1984.
The district is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Roger G. Mercado of the Lakas–CMD.
