President Rodrigo Duterte has signed a law reapportioning vote-rich Cavite province into eight legislative districts months before the 2019 midterm polls.
Republic Act 11069 signed by Duterte last September 14, would make General Trias City a separate legislative district and would reorganize two other districts.
General Trias City would become the province's sixth district. Trece Martires City, Indang, Tanza and Amadeo, areas that used to be part of the sixth district, would constitute the seventh district.
The 8th district would consist of Tagaytay City, Alfonso, General Aguinaldo, Magallanes, Maragondon, Mendez, Naic and Ternate, areas that used to belong to the 7th district.
The incumbent representatives of the 6th and 7th districts would continue to represent their districts until new representatives are elected.
The composition of the five other districts was unchanged. The first district is composed of Cavite City, Kawit, Noveleta and Rosario while Bacoor City constitutes the second district.
Imus City constitutes the third district while Dasmariñas City constitutes the fourth. The fifth district consists of Carmona, General Mariano Alvarez and Silang.
There are about 1.8 million registered voters in Cavite.
