Ambos Camarines's 3rd congressional district

Ambos Camarines's 3rd congressional district is a defunct congressional district that encompassed the eastern portions of the former province of Ambos Camarines. 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] Francisco Álvarez 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 2nd congressional district.[4]
