CALABARZON is one of the regions
of the Philippines. It is also designated as Region
IV-A and its regional capital is Quezon City in
Metro Manila (hence it is not in the CALABARZON region
itself). The region is composed of five provinces,
namely: Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Quezon, and Rizal.
These provinces form the region's name, which is an
acronym.
The region is located in southern Luzon, just south and
west of Metro Manila and is the second most densely
populated region.
CALABARZON and MIMAROPA were previously combined
together as Southern Tagalog, until they were separated
in 2002.
