Legislative district of Mindanao and Sulu
The Legislative District of Mindanao and Sulu was the representation of the Department of Mindanao and Sulu in the lower house (Philippine Assembly) of the Philippine Legislature from 1916 until 1935.
The passage of the Philippine Autonomy Act in 1916 by the United States Congress extended legislative representation to what were then non-Christian-majority areas of the Philippines for the first time. The Revised Administrative Code (Act No. 2711) enacted on March 10, 1917 further elaborated on the manner by which these areas would be represented. The non-Christian areas were represented in the upper house's 12th senatorial district (Philippine Senate) by two senators, both appointed by the Governor-General. Similarly, the nine new lower house representatives — five representatives from the Department of Mindanao and Sulu, three from the undivided Mountain Province (including the independent city of Baguio) and one from Nueva Vizcaya — were also appointed, and not elected. The appointment of these members of the Legislature did not require the consent of the upper house; the appointive legislators were also not necessarily required to be residents of the areas they represented. For example, Assemblyman Pedro Aunario, a resident of Manila, and Senator Lope K. Santos, a resident of Rizal, were among the representatives of the Mountain Province.
Although its seven components — Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Davao, Lanao, Sulu and Zamboanga — had been full-fledged provinces since the passage of Act. No. 2408 on September 1, 1914, the Department of Mindanao and Sulu remained represented as one at-large district. Act No. 4203, enacted on July 23, 1935, finally granted separate representation to each of the seven provinces, in preparation for the inauguration of the new Commonwealth of the Philippines. Each province first elected their separate representative during the 1935 elections.
