Bacolod's at-large congressional district

Bacolod's at-large congressional district is the city-wide electoral district in Bacolod, Philippines. It has been electing representatives at-large to the House of Representatives since 1987 and earlier to the National Assembly from 1943 to 1944.

The district was first formed ahead of the 1943 Philippine legislative election following the ratification of the Second Philippine Republic constitution which called for a unicameral legislature composed of delegates from all provinces and chartered cities in the country. Bacolod, a chartered city since 1938, elected Francisco Zulueta to the National Assembly, who was joined by then-mayor Alfredo C. Yulo as an appointed second delegate. The district became inactive following the restoration of the House of Representatives in 1945 when the city reverted to its old provincial constituency of Negros Occidental's 2nd congressional district. In the unicameral Batasang Pambansa that replaced the House, Bacolod was not entitled to its own separate representation despite being a highly-urbanized city. Instead, it formed part of the multi-member Region VI's at-large district for the interim parliament from 1978 to 1984 and Negros Occidental's at-large district in the regular parliament from 1984 to 1986. The city-wide electoral district was only restored in 1987 under a new constitution.

The district is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Greg G. Gasataya of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC).
