Legislative Districts of Makati City

The Legislative Districts of Makati City, namely the first and second districts, are the representations of the City of Makati in the Philippine House of Representatives. From 1907 until 1972, it was represented as part of the first district of Rizal, and was part of the representation of the Region IV in the Interim Batasang Pambansa from 1978 to 1984. Makati was granted its own representation in the Regular Batasang Pambansa from 1984 to 1986, as well as in the restored House of Representatives starting 1987. It was divided into two districts after its city charter (Republic Act No. 7854)) was approved on January 2, 1995 and ratified on February 4, 1995, and first elected their separate representatives in 1998.

Famous quotes containing the words legislative, districts and/or city:

    Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap—let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges;Mlet it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs;Mlet it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.
    Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)

    ... Washington was not only an important capital. It was a city of fear. Below that glittering and delightful surface there is another story, that of underpaid Government clerks, men and women holding desperately to work that some political pull may at any moment take from them. A city of men in office and clutching that office, and a city of struggle which the country never suspects.
    Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
