Albay's 4th Congressional District
Albay's 4th congressional district is a defunct congressional district that encompassed the island of Catanduanes, a former territory of the province of Albay. It was represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippine Islands from 1931 to 1935, in the National Assembly of the Philippine Commonwealth from 1935 to 1941, and in the House of Representatives of the Philippine Commonwealth from 1945 to 1946. It was created by the 1929 reapportionment that redrew the boundaries of Albay's 2nd congressional district and allocated an additional district for the seven municipalities that comprised the island. Following the reorganization of a provincial government in Catanduanes in 1945, the district was dissolved and replaced by Catanduanes's at-large congressional district.

Congressional Districts Of The Philippines
Congressional districts of the Philippines ( fil, distritong pangkapulungan) refers to the electoral districts or constituencies in which the country is divided for the purpose of electing 253 of the 316 members of the House of Representatives (with the other 63 being elected through a system of party-list proportional representation). The country is currently divided into 253 congressional districts, also known as legislative districts or representative districts, with each one representing at least 250,000 people or one entire province. The 1987 Constitution of the Philippines initially provided for a maximum 200 congressional districts or 80 percent of the maximum 250 seats for the lower house, with the remaining 20 percent or 50 seats allotted for sectoral or party-list representatives. This number has since been revised with the enactment of several laws creating more districts pursuant to the 1991 Local Government Code. Philippine congressional districts are contiguous an ...

Viga, Catanduanes
Viga, officially the Municipality of Viga, is a 4th class municipality in the province of Catanduanes, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 22,869 people. Viga is one of the eleven towns in the province of Catanduanes, located in the north-eastern portion of the island.

Former Congressional Districts Of The Philippines
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the adv ...

Legislative Districts Of Albay
The legislative districts of Albay are the representations of the province of Albay in the various national legislatures of the Philippines. The province is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its first and second, and third congressional districts. Catanduanes last formed part of the province's representation in 1946, when it began to elect its own representative as a full-fledged province. The first district is among the original representative districts from 1907 which has never changed in territorial coverage, along with Ilocos Norte's first and second, Ilocos Sur's first, and Iloilo's first districts. History Albay, which at the time included the sub-province of Catanduanes, was initially divided into three assembly districts in 1907. The fourth district – consisting of the sub-province of Catanduanes – was created by virtue of Act No. 3617 enacted in 1929, and elected its own representative starting in 1931. When sea ...

1941 Philippine House Of Representatives Elections
Elections for the House of Representatives of the Philippines were held on November 11, 1941, with the ruling Nacionalista Party retaining a majority of the seats. Still, the party was prevented a clean sweep when three independents were elected. The elected congressmen were supposed to serve from December 30, 1941, to December 30, 1945, but World War II broke out and Imperial Japan invaded the Philippines on December 8, 1941, setting up a puppet Second Philippine Republic which then organized the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic, whose members were elected in 1943. The Philippines was liberated by the Allied Powers in 1945 and the acts of the Second Republic were nullified; elected representatives who survived the war and were not interned for collaboration with the Japanese served until those who won in elections that were held in 1946 took office.

1st Congress Of The Commonwealth Of The Philippines
The First Congress of the Commonwealth of the Philippines ( fil, Unang Kongreso ng Komenwelt ng Pilipinas), also known as the Postwar Congress, and the Liberation Congress, refers to the meeting of the bicameral legislature composed of the Senate and House of Representatives, from 1945 to 1946. The meeting only convened after the reestablishment of the Commonwealth of the Philippines in 1945 when President Sergio Osmeña called it to hold five special sessions. Osmeña had replaced Manuel L. Quezon as president after the former died in exile in the United States in 1944. Significance Not much has been written about the First Commonwealth Congress, despite its historical and political significance. This owes mainly to the briefness of its existence (i.e., less than a year). However, the First Commonwealth Congress was significant in at least three key respects: First, it brought an end the president's exercise of legislative powers under the wartime emergency act passed by the d ...

Albay's At-large Congressional District
Albay's at-large congressional district may refer to three occasions when a provincewide at-large district was used for elections to the various Philippine national legislatures from Albay. From 1898 to 1901, five representatives from the province who were elected at-large sat in the Malolos Congress, the National Assembly of the First Philippine Republic. Albay was reorganized under the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands in 1901 with Catanduanes annexed to it and was divided into three districts for the Philippine Assembly in 1907. From 1943 to 1944, the province as a whole sent two representatives to the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic. Multiple district representation was restored in the province in 1945. In 1978, regional at-large assembly districts were created for the national parliament with Albay included in the 12-seat Region V's at-large district. The province returned to its own single multi-member at-large district in 1984 with a three-se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1938 Philippine Legislative Election
Elections for the Second National Assembly were held on November 8, 1938, under a new law that allowed block voting, which favored the governing Nacionalista Party (formerly divided into the Democratica and the Pro-Independencia factions, which later reconciled). As expected all the 98 seats of the National Assembly went to the Nacionalistas. José Yulo, who was Quezon's Secretary of Justice from 1934 to 1938, was elected Speaker. Summary Ahead of the first midterm polls in the country, the two factions of the Nacionalista Party had already reunited. The party went into the 1938 Elections with the confidence of having practically every branch of government under the control of its stalwarts. This reconsolidation of political forces left the opposition in tatters, with the Allied Minorities, a loose caucus of opposition parties, failing to stop the Nacionalista bid. The elections of 1938 proved to be historic in two ways: It was the first and last time that a single party wou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
