Batangas's 3rd congressional district is one of the six congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Batangas. 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 northern Batangas cities of Santo Tomas and Tanauan, as well as adjacent municipalities surrounding the Taal Lake: Agoncillo, Alitagtag, Balete, Cuenca, Laurel, Malvar, Mataasnakahoy, San Nicolas, Santa Teresita and Talisay, a configuration that has been in place since 1987.[4][5] It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Ma. Theresa V. Collantes of the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC).[6]

Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the third district encompassed the city of Lipa and the eastern Batangas municipalities of Balete, Laurel, Malvar, Mataasnakahoy, Padre Garcia, Rosario, San Jose, Santo Tomas, Talisay, and Tanauan. The southeastern municipalities of Lobo and San Juan were also part of the district from its creation until 1928 when a minor reorganization, enacted into law a year earlier, transferred them to the second district. Simultaneously, Tanauan became part of this district.[7][8]
