Manila's 1st congressional district is one of the six congressional districts of the Philippines in the city of Manila. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1916 and earlier in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916.[3] The district consists of barangays 1 to 146 in the western part of the Manila district of Tondo, west of Dagupan Street, Estero de Vitas and Estero de Sunog Apog bordering Navotas.[4] It used to encompass the entire district of Tondo until 1972, as well as the districts of Binondo, Intramuros, and San Nicolas until 1949 due to the revision of Manila's city charter.[5] It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Ernesto M. Dionisio Jr. of Lakas–CMD.[6]
