Legislative district of Lapu-Lapu

The Legislative District of Lapu-Lapu City, is the representation of Lapu-Lapu City in the Philippine House of Representatives. From 1907 up to 2010, it was part of the representation of Cebu, except from 1978 to 1984, when it was a part of the representation of Region VII from 1978 to 1984.

What is now Lapu-Lapu City initially formed part of the second district of Cebu province in 1907. When seats for the upper house of the Philippine Legislature were elected from territory-based districts between 1916 and 1935, the then-municipality of Opon formed part of the tenth 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 Cebu (of which the municipality of Opon was a part) 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, the province's seven-district configuration was restored. The Municipality of Opon, converted into the City of Lapu-Lapu in 1961, remained a part of Cebu's second district until 1972.
