Calabarzon Case Study
1. Brief History
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 Metro Manila and is the second most densely populated region. It is bounded by Metro Manila, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Pacific Ocean, South China Sea and Sulu Sea.
CALABARZON and MIMAROPA were previously combined together as Southern Tagalog. Calabarzon region is the result of the splitting of Southern Tagalog Region in two. The split formed Region 4A Calabarzon and Region 4B Mimaropa. These two new provinces were formed in 2002. Executive Order No. 246, dated October 28, 2003, designated Calamba City as the regional center of CALABARZON.
The region is a must-see destination of infinite variety. In fact, it is not one destination but five adjacent yet diverse provinces, which are grouped together to integrate social and economic development and are also the growth areas of the southern part of the Philippines in terms of industrial resources, socio-economic importance and tourism potentials. It is an area so rich in natural resources, the CALABARZON is a vast tapestry of fertile rice fields, coconut plantations, fruit orchards, mist-covered mountains, flowing streams, fiery volcanoes, serene lakes, primeval forests, sandy beaches and bountiful coastal waters. The region's accessibility to Metro Manila is the favored day tour destination of many city-weary weekenders from the busy metropolis. It is easily accessible from and is a popular destination for Filipino families living in manila.
