The Philippines Regions

The region in the Philippines is an administrative division that is primarily used to coordinate programs and organize national government services in multiple local government units (LGUs). Most national government offices provide services through their regional branches, rather than directly having provincial or municipal offices. These regional offices are usually (but not always) located in cities designated as regional centers.

Currently, the Philippines is divided into 17 regions. Of these, only 16 are administrative groups. Each group is provided by the Philippine President with a Regional Development Committee (DRC). For the National Capital Regions, an additional metropolitan body is responsible for coordinating agencies and policy development. There is only one elected government the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim, Mindanao, and the Philippine Congress has given it certain powers and responsibilities.
