Muntinlupa's at-large congressional district is the sole congressional district of the Philippines in the city of Muntinlupa. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1998.[3] Muntinlupa first elected a single representative city-wide at-large for the 11th Congress following its conversion into a highly urbanised city through Republic Act No. 7926 on March 1, 1995.[4] Before 1998, its territory was represented as part of Las Piñas–Muntinlupa, Taguig–Pateros–Muntinlupa, Rizal's 1st and at-large district, and Manila's at-large district. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Jaime Fresnedi of the Liberal Party (LP).[5][6]
