MIMAROPA is an administrative region in the Philippines, designated as Region IV-B. It is one of two regions in the country having no land border with another region, the other being Eastern Visayas. The name is an acronym combination of its constituent provinces, which are: Mindoro (divided into Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro), Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan. The region is also formally known as the Southern Tagalog Islands.
Calapan City is the regional center. However, most regional government offices such as the Department of Public Works and Highways are in the city of Quezon in Metro Manila.
The region was part of the now-defunct Southern Tagalog region until May 17, 2002.[4] On May 23, 2005, Palawan and the highly urbanized city of Puerto Princesa were moved to the region of Western Visayas by Executive Order No. 429.
However, on August 19, 2005, then-President Arroyo issued Administrative Order No. 129 to hold the earlier EO 429 in abeyance pending a review.

12. House of Dakay
• If you want to see the oldest stone house
ever to be constructed in the entire
province, House of Dakay is worth
visiting. The House of Dakay is the oldest
house that has been living on for so
many years. It is situated in the small
town of San Jose De Ivana in Batan
Island, Batanes. This traditional structure
is considered as a heritage treasure of
Batanes. This particular stone structure
cannot be found anywhere in the
Philippines. It is designed to be firm,
providing shelter that will last from storm
and strong winds in the island which is
located along the typhoon belt.
13. Honesty Coffee Shop
• Batanes’ best known example
if it’s low crime rate is the
Honesty Coffee shop. This
novelty café does not have
any cashier or staff and
instead banks on people’s
honesty to pay for the coffee
and goods that they got from
the store. Honesty Coffee
Shop is a one of a kind store
located in Ivana, Batanes.
This coffee shop was
originally named Honesty

an amazing view of the coast,
Rakuh A Payaman is one of the
most beautiful sights in Batanes.

• Pacita Abad is a world-renowned
painter who hails from Basco.

• This small but beautiful church was constructed by local
artisans in the style of the traditional Ivatan stone house.
Also known as Mt. Carmel Church, its façade and
interiors are adorned by religious artworks that were
crafted by local artists. Batanes, also called as the home
of the winds, is a place where one can truly feel God’s
whisper. It is a place where beauty and tranquility
meets. The province of Batanes houses several
churches that one can religiously fall in love. One of the
churches that you should not miss upon going to
Batanes is the Mt. Carmel Church which is popularly
known as Tukon Chapel. The design of the lovely Tukon
chapel was based on the traditional Ivatan stone
houses. It is a project spearheaded by the influential
Abad family and nearby communities so they don’t need
to travel far away to go to a church.The roof of the
chapel is made of concrete red bricks and on its ceiling,
one will be amazed of the prepossessing painting of
different municipal saints which are painted by well-
skilled Ivatan artists.
17. Batanes instantly took my breath away. I was amazed by its graceful charm and
hoping that one day, I will be able to see Batanes up close this soon.
Batanes has always been on my list of go-to places here in the Philippines. With its
majestic views, greenery, the commonly experienced wind-slashing and ear-
buzzing weather, delicious local Ivatan specialties, plus all the amazing photos that
you see of this incredible province, it is definitely a place I’ve always wanted to see.
This focus for nature lovers is an archipelago province in the Cagayan Valley
region. It is the northernmost province in the country and also the smallest in
population and land area with three inhabited islands. Despite its loneliness and
limited land area, Batanes is home to vibrant and distinct cultures and heritage as
well as to rich ecosystems, biodiversity and dazzling landscapes. I encourage
everyone to visit Batanes but I really hope that those who have plans to visit
Batanes, let’s do our best to keep Batanes as beautiful as it is now, for as long as
possible. That’ts the least we can do. See you real soon, Batanes!
