It has been represented in the House of Representatives since 2013.[3] The district is composed of the city of Puerto Princesa and adjacent municipality of Aborlan.[4] It was created after the 2012 reapportionment that redrew the boundaries of the 2nd district and allocated a new district for Palawan's capital and only city. It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Gil Acosta Jr. of the Partidong Pagbabago ng Palawan (PPP).[5]
