Legislative districts of Masbate

The province is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its first, second, and third congressional districts.

Masbate initially comprised a single district in 1898, when it elected two representatives to the Malolos Congress that lasted until 1899.

The island of Burias, currently part of Masbate, also had a separate representation during such legislature.

[2] It was part of the representation of Region V from 1978 to 1984, and from 1984 to 1986 it elected two assemblymen at-large.

In 1987, it was redistricted into three legislative districts under the new Constitution[3] which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
