Duterte signed Republic Act 11069 on September 14 to resection certain legislative districts in Cavite. The law however was only released to the media on September 17.
Specifically, RA 11069 repealed RA 9727 signed by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, and made General Trias City a lone district in the province. The latest law also effectively transferred areas from the Sixth District to the Seventh District, and created the new Eighth District.
The new legislative districts would now be as follows:
First District
Cavite City Kawit Noveleta Rosario
Second District
Bacoor City Third District Imus City
Fourth District
Dasmariñas City
Fifth District
Carmona General Mariano Alvarez Silang
Sixth District
General Trias City
Seventh District
Trece Martires City Indang Tanza Amadeo
Eighth District
Tagaytay City Alfonso General Aguinaldo Magallanes Maragondon Mendez Naic Ternate
Cavite, considered one of the vote-rich provinces, has 1.8 million voters. /kga
