LOCATED in northeastern Makati, the 2nd Congressional District, led by Rep. Luis Campos, is a dynamic mix of history, bustling commerce, and vibrant community life.
Composed of the barangays of Guadalupe Nuevo, Guadalupe Viejo, and Pinagkaisahan, this district serves as a vital artery in the country’s financial capital while also being steeped in cultural heritage.
One of its most iconic landmarks is the Guadalupe Ruins, officially known as the Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church. Built in 1630, this historic structure showcases stunning Spanish colonial architecture and stands as a testament to the area’s rich history.
Another prominent religious site is the National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, located in Guadalupe Nuevo, which remains a pilgrimage destination for many faithful devotees.
Commerce thrives in the district with hubs like the Guadalupe Commercial Complex, serving as a marketplace and business center for residents. The Guadalupe Nuevo Market adds a local flavor, bustling with vendors offering fresh produce, household goods, and everyday essentials.
Residents and commuters benefit from easy access to the rest of Metro Manila through the Guadalupe MRT Station, a critical transit point along EDSA.
Cultural festivities further enrich the district’s identity, with local barangays celebrating annual fiestas that feature parades, street dances, and communal feasts in honor of their patron saints. These traditions bring the community together and highlight the vibrancy of daily life.
Under Rep. Campos’ leadership, Makati’s 2nd District is not just preserving its storied past but also embracing a vision for progress.
From its heritage sites to its thriving businesses and close-knit communities, this district captures the essence of Bagong Pilipinas—a perfect balance of tradition and innovation—serving its people today, while building a brighter tomorrow.
