Camarines Sur's 5th congressional district

Camarines Sur's 5th congressional district is one of the five congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Camarines Sur. It has been represented in the House of Representatives since 2010.[3] The district was created following the 2009 reapportionment that split the 1st district into two thereby creating an additional district for the province.[4][5] The district consists of the city of Iriga and adjacent municipalities in the Partido region of southern Camarines Sur that previously comprised the 4th district, namely Baao, Balatan, Bato, Buhi, Bula and Nabua. It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Jocelyn F. Fortuno of the Nacionalista Party (NP).[6]
