Nueva Vizcaya's at-large congressional district , also known as Nueva Vizcaya's lone district , is the sole congressional district of the Philippines in the province of Nueva Vizcaya for various national legislatures since 1898.[ 3] The province first elected its representative provincewide at-large for the Malolos Congress of the First Philippine Republic . In 1907, when the Philippine Assembly was established, the province had no representation as it was then classified as a special province under the supervision of the Department of the Interior Bureau of Non-Christian Tribes.[ 4] Since 1916 when it was re-established as a specially organized province separate from its former Comandancia de Quiañgan which became the Ifugao sub-province under Jones Law , Nueva Vizcaya has been entitled to one member in the House of Representatives .[ 5] It remains as a single-member district , except for a brief period between 1943 and 1944 when a second seat was allocated in the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic .[ 6]
The district is currently represented by Luisa Lloren Cuaresma of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).[ 7]
