Antique's at-large congressional district, also known as Antique's lone district, is the sole congressional district of the Philippines in the province of Antique. Antique has been represented in the country's various national legislatures since 1898.[3] Since 1907, Antique has been entitled to one member in the House of Representatives of the Philippines, elected provincewide at-large, except for a brief period between 1943 and 1944 when a second seat was allocated in the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic.[4] It was also earlier represented by three members in the First Philippine Republic legislature known as the Malolos Congress from 1898 to 1901.[3]
The district is currently represented by Loren Legarda of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC).[5]
