Makati's 2nd congressional district

Makati's 2nd congressional district is one of the two congressional districts of the Philippines in the city of Makati. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1998.[3] The district consists of barangays in eastern Makati, namely Cembo, Comembo, East Rembo, Guadalupe Nuevo, Guadalupe Viejo, Pembo, Pinagkaisahan, Pitogo, Post Proper Northside, Post Proper Southside, Rizal, South Cembo and West Rembo.[4] In April 2023, the aforementioned barangays, except Guadalupe Viejo, Guadalupe Nuevo, and Pinagkaisahan, were placed under the de jure control of Taguig amidst the Fort Bonifacio boundary dispute, with an official transition and handover expected to occur.[5] It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Luis Jose Campos Jr. of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC).[6]

The fate of Makati's 2nd district is uncertain due to the Supreme Court ruling on the Fort Bonifacio dispute due to the remaining barangays not fulfilling the constitutional requirement of 250,000 residents. Makati could be reduced to a single district with Taguig–Pateros gaining a district.[7] Pending legislation, the status quo of its existence, despite it being reduced to three barangays, is expected to prevail.[8]
