Misamis's at-large congressional district

The formerly undivided province of Misamis was represented in a Philippine national legislature as an at-large district in one occasion. Three delegates were appointed to represent the province in the National Assembly of the First Philippine Republic in 1898.[1] After the province was reorganized under U.S. civilian rule in 1901, two districts were created for Misamis ahead of the elections for the first fully elected Philippine Assembly in 1907.[2][3]
