Ambos Camarines's 2nd congressional district

Ambos Camarines's 2nd congressional district is a defunct congressional district that encompassed the southern and central portions of the former province of Ambos Camarines including its capital Nueva Cáceres. It was represented in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916 and in the House of Representatives of the Philippine Islands from 1916 to 1919.[1] The Spanish colonial province of Ambos Camarines was reorganized under the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands on April 27, 1901 and was divided into three districts.[2][3] Manuel Rey was elected as this district's first representative in 1907. Following its repartition into Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur on March 3, 1919, the district was abolished with most of its territory having been absorbed by Camarines Sur's 1st congressional district.[4]
