Samar's 2nd congressional district is one of the two congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Samar. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1916 and earlier in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916.[3] The district consists of the provincial capital city of Catbalogan and adjacent municipalities of Basey, Calbiga, Daram, Hinabangan, Jiabong, Marabut, Motiong, Paranas, Pinabacdao, San Jose de Buan, San Sebastian, Santa Rita, Talalora, Villareal and Zumarraga. Prior to its second dissolution in 1965 due to the split of the historical province of Samar, it consisted of the old province's western portion that is now known as Samar (formerly Western Samar), except Calbayog, which was part of the 1st district.[4] It is currently represented in the 20th Congress by Reynolds Michael Tan of the Lakas–CMD.[5]
