CALABARZON is one of the regions of the Philippines. It is also designated as Region IV-A and its regional capital is Calamba City in Laguna. The region is composed of five provinces, namely: Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon. The region's name is an acronym of the names of these provinces.
The region is located in southwestern Luzon, just south and west of MetroManila and is the second most densely populated region.
CALABARZON and MIMAROPA were previously combined together asSouthern Tagalog, until they were separated in 2002.
Executive Order No. 246, dated October 28, 2003, designated Calamba Cityas the regional center of CALABARZON. However, Manila remains to be its de facto capital until now due to its proximity to the Region.
