Nueva Vizcaya's At-large Congressional District
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.

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 ...

Demócrata Party
The Democrata Party, also known as ''Partido Democrata Nacional'' () was a political party in early 20th century Philippines, when the Philippines was an insular territory of the United States. It functioned as an opposition party against the ruling Nacionalista Party. History The Democrata Party came from the remnants of the Progresista Party, which had been defeated by the Nacionalistas. Juan Sumulong founded the Democrata party in 1917, espousing "''absolute and immediate independence''". In the 1922 election, the Nacionalistas were split into two camps: Senate President Manuel L. Quezon pushed for collective leadership, calling Speaker Sergio Osmeña's leadership style as "''unipersonal''", a charge Osmeña denied. Thus, Quezon and his allies were the "Colectivistas", while Osmeña and his allies were the "Unipersonalistas". Osmeña decided to run for the Senate, directly challenging Quezon's authority. This led to the Nacionalistas losing their majority in the House of Re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
