The Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) created by former president Corazon Aquino in 1987 is composed of six (6) provinces (Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Kalinga, Ifugao, and Mountain Province). The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) described the region as a "landlocked region" located in Northern central portion of Luzon. With a mountainous topography, it is basically cold and windy almost all year round.
The people in this region are called "Cordillerans." the term encompasses the aborigines or the natives of the mountains called "Igorots."
