Maguindanao's 1st congressional district

Maguindanao's 1st congressional district is one of the two congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Maguindanao. It has been represented in the House of Representatives since 1987.[3] The district stretches along the Moro Gulf coast of western Maguindanao and includes Cotabato City, an independent port city. Barira, Buldon, Datu Blah T. Sinsuat, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Kabuntalan, Matanog, Northern Kabuntalan, Parang, Sultan Kudarat, Sultan Mastura and Upi are the district's constituent municipalities.[4] From 2006 to 2008, the district was briefly replaced by the lone district of Shariff Kabunsuan, a short-lived province that was carved out of the same area in Maguindanao and which was eventually nullified by the Supreme Court. It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Datu Roonie Q. Sinsuat of the United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP).[5]
