Quezon City's 2nd congressional district

Quezon City's 2nd congressional district is one of the six congressional districts of the Philippines in Quezon City. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1987.[3] The district consists of the eastern barangays bordering Marikina, San Mateo and Rodriguez.[4] From 1987 to 2013, it is the most populous district in the country, encompassing the northern part of Quezon City commonly called as Novaliches, until it was redistricted in time for the 2013 election. Just like its pre-2013 composition, it still includes the Batasang Pambansa, the seat of the House of Representatives. It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Precious Castelo of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC).[5]
