Hon. Nelson L. Dayanghirang

First District Representative

Hailing from his hometown of Manay, Davao Oriental, where he spent most of his political career that honed his leadership, Congressman Nelson Lechoncito-Dayanghirang has an extensive background as a public servant.

In his early days in politics, he served as a Punong Barangay, became ABC President, and in the ensuing years became a Sangguniang Bayan Member. Eventually, with his people’s support and trust, he rose to become the Municipal Mayor of Manay for three consecutive terms.

He later entered the provincial political arena and became a member of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for two terms. Instead of running for the same position, in 2007, for his third term, he emerged victorious as a member of the House of Representative for three consecutive terms, representing the first district of Davao Oriental.

He later embarked on a wider political journey and accepted the challenge and huge mandate from the people to serve as the 9th Governor of the Province of Davao Oriental from 2016-2022.

He returned as the province’s first district Representative in 2022.
