Legislative district of Aurora


The Legislative District of Aurora is the current representation of the province of Aurora in the of the Philippines. The province is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its lone congressional district.

From 1907 to 1972 the area now under the jurisdiction of Aurora was represented as part of the first district of Tayabas. When seats for the upper house of the Philippine Legislature were elected from territory-based districts between 1916 and 1935, the undivided province of Tayabas formed part of the fifth senatorial district which elected two out of the 24-member senate.

In the disruption caused by the Second World War, two delegates represented the province of Tayabas in the National Assembly of the Japanese-sponsored Second Philippine Republic: one was the provincial governor (an ex officio member), while the other was elected through a provincial assembly of KALIBAPI members during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.

Upon the restoration of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1945, Tayabas continued to comprise two representative districts, with the territory of the current province of Aurora forming part of the first district. In 1949 Tayabas was renamed Quezon. Two years later, on June 14, 1951, Republic Act No. 648 established the sub-province of Aurora within the province of Quezon.
