The city is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its first and second congressional districts.
Upon the restoration of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1945, the city's representation reverted to the second district of Cebu province, of which it remained a part until 1972.
Cebu City was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region VII from 1978 to 1984.
Cebu City was reapportioned into two congressional districts under the new Constitution[2] which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987.
The two districts elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
