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. There is only one city in the entire region: Calapan City in Oriental Mindoro.
The region was created on May 17, 2002, as was Region IV-A (CALABARZON), after Region IV (Southern Tagalog) was divided.
After the reassignment of Palawan to Region VI on June 5, 2005, MIMAROPA could be remerged with Region IV-A to form Region IV, or the former Southern Tagalog region.
