Calabarzon: The Heartbeat of Southern Luzon

Calabarzon, known officially as Region IV-A, is a vibrant tapestry of five provinces—Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Quezon, and Rizal—each offering a distinct blend of culture, nature, and development.

Located just south of Metro Manila, it stands as the most densely populated region in the Philippines, home to over 16 million people.

From the volcanic majesty of Taal and Mt. Banahaw to the serene waters of Laguna de Bay, Calabarzon boasts a rich variety of geography and biodiversity.

It is steeped in history: Cavite is home to the Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine, while Quezon dazzles with the vibrant colors of the Pahiyas Festival.

The artistic towns of Rizal, such as Paete and Angono, celebrate Filipino creativity, and Batangas is renowned as a diving haven, particularly the coral gardens of Anilao.

With its network of expressways, rail systems, and ports, Calabarzon serves as a logistical hub. Its closeness to Manila makes it a popular weekend getaway and a center for both industry and agriculture.

Calamba, the regional hub, drives economic growth, while Antipolo is the most populated city in the region.

Calabarzon is more than a gateway—it embodies a vibrant story of revolution, resilience, and transformation.

Whether you are seeking waterfalls, following the trails of history, or diving into marine sanctuaries, this region invites you to discover the essence of Luzon in motion.
