Maguindanao's 2nd congressional district
Maguindanao's 2nd 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 covers 25 interior municipalities of eastern Maguindanao bordering the provinces of Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat, including its capital Buluan.[4] From 2006 to 2008, the district was briefly replaced by the lone district of Maguindanao after a new province was carved out of the 1st district known as Shariff Kabunsuan which was eventually nullified by the Supreme Court. It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Esmael Mangudadatu of the United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP).[5]
