Provinces & their Capital of the Philippines

Provinces in the Philippines serve as crucial political and administrative divisions within the country. Currently, there are 82 provinces, each of which is further divided into component cities and municipalities. It is important to note the local government units in the National Capital Region, as well as independent cities, operate independently without any provincial government oversight. Governance with each province is carried out by an elected legislature known as the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, along with an elected governor.

 

To ensure effective organization and management, the provinces are categorized into seventeen regions based on geographical, cultural, and ethnological characteristics. Thirteen of these regions are designated numerically from north to south. However, the National Capital Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Southwestern Tagalog Region, and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao are identified solely by acronyms.

 

In additional, every province holds membership in the League of Provinces of the Philippines. This organization is dedicated to addressing various concerns and challenges that impact both provincial and metropolitan government administrations. By fostering collaboration and communication among provinces, the League aims to contribute to the development and progress of the nation as a whole.
