Lone District of Bacoor City
In keeping with the decentralization of Cavite in the midst of increasing population by adding more congressional districts to streamline delivery of public services in the province, a bill was filed by Rep. Joseph Abaya with Cavite Reps. Pidi Barzaga and Crispin Remulla as co-authors. It aims at creating a separate congressional district for Bacoor (making it the second congressional district once the bill is signed into law). The bill was sponsored by Senator Benigno S. Aquino III and co-sponsored by Senator Francis Escudero, Senator Panfilo Lacson, Senator Richard Gordon and Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr.. It was approved by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as Republic Act 9727 last October 22, 2009.
The City of Bacoor officially considers the newly-created district the "Lone District of Bacoor (2nd District of Cavite)".
