MIMAROPA

MIMAROPA, also known as Region IV-B, is a region of the Philippines located in Luzon. The name is an acronym that stands for its provinces, which are: Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Romblon (also Palawan, since transferred to another region). There is only one city in the entire region: Calapan City in Oriental Mindoro.

The region was created by Executive Order No. 103, dated May 17, 2002, as was Region IV-A (CALABARZON), after Region IV (Southern Tagalog) was divided. Quezon City (the former regional center of Southern Tagalog]) remains the regional center of the MIMAROPA region.

Executive Order No. 429, dated May 23, 2005 transferred Palawan to Region VI.
