United States congressional delegations from the Philippines
 |
It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Resident Commissioners from the Philippines. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2011. |
In the early 20th century, the Philippines was a territory of the United States. A representative, known as a Resident Commissioner had non-voting delegate status in the United States House of Representatives, much like Resident Commissioners from Puerto Rico do today. The Philippines had 2 Resident Commissioners from 1907 to 1937 and then 1 from 1937 to independence in 1946. These commissioners were indirectly elected, being chosen by the Philippine Legislature and the National Assembly.
The entire island nation was represented in one congressional district. Since 1946, however, the Philippines is no longer represented in Congress.
These are tables of congressional delegations from the Philippines to the United States House of Representatives.
