Pampanga's 1st congressional district is one of the four congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Pampanga . It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1916 and earlier in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916.[ 3] The district consists of the independent city of Angeles , the adjacent city of Mabalacat , and the municipality of Magalang . It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Carmelo B. Lazatin II of the Lakas–CMD and Lingap Lugud Capangpañgan.[ 4] [ 5]
Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the district encompassed the western Pampanga municipalities of Angeles (which became a city in 1964), Bacolor , Floridablanca , Guagua , Lubao , Macabebe , Masantol , Porac , Santa Rita , and Sexmoan .[ 6] Following the restoration of the Congress in 1987, it was redefined to encompass Angeles and neghboring northern Pampanga municipalities of Mabalacat and Magalang, a configuration that remains in effect to date.[ 7] [ 8]
