The municipality was grouped with Pateros again to form one congressional district under the new Constitution[2] proclaimed on February 11, 1987; it elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
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.
