Marikina was first represented as part of the
at-large district of the
province of Manila in the
Malolos Congress from 1898 to 1899. The then-town was later incorporated to the province of
Rizal, established in 1901, and was represented as part of the
second district of Rizal from 1907 to 1941 and from 1945 to 1972. During
World War II, the then-town was represented as part of the
at-large district of Rizal in the
National Assembly of the
Second Philippine Republic from 1943 to 1944. From 1916 to 1935, Marikina was also represented in the
Senate of the Philippines as part of the
4th district. Since the abolition of the abolition of the Senate in 1935 and the subsequent restoration of the bicameral congress, senators have been elected at-large. It was part of the representation of
Region IV in the
Interim Batasang Pambansa from 1978 to 1984. It was grouped with
Pasig from 1984 to 1986 for representation in the
Regular Batasang Pambansa, as part of the
Legislative district of Pasig–Marikina. Marikina was given its own representation in the restored House of Representatives in 1987, and was divided into two districts after an amendment (Republic Act No. 9364) to its city charter (Republic Act No. 8223) was approved on December 15, 2006. == Current districts ==
