Rizal 2nd district Rep. Fidel Nograles is enjoying massive local support for his proposal to split Rizal’s second legislative district into three separate districts, prospectively giving the province two more legislators on top of the current four.This, as Nograles expressed confidence that similar support would spread in the House of Representatives among his fellow lawmakers.
If enacted, the measure would divide Nograles’s own district––composed of the municipalities of Baras, Cardona, Jala-Jala, Morong, Pililla, Rodriguez , San Mateo, Tanay and Teresa––into three separate legislative districts. “This is why all of us in the provincial capitol––including Vice Governor [Reynaldo] San Juan and all of Rizal’s provincial board members––and all the mayors in the province support the passage of HB 336,” said Ynares.
“Rep. Nograles has to serve a little more than one million constituents as the second district alone has over half the entire population of Rizal. More representation in Congress means more legislators to serve the people of Rizal,” he explained.
