PROFILE


4.  Ang Palawan ay naging bahagi ng
Rehiyon VI noong Hunyo 5, 2005. Ito ay
inilipat sa Kanlurang Visayas mula sa
dating "MIMAROPA", sa bisa ng
Executive Order No. 429, na nilagdaan
noong Mayo 23, 2005.

5.  Kasunod nito ay inilabas naman ang
Administrative Order No. 129 noong Agosto 19,
2005, upang bigyang pansin ang anumang
epektong idudulot ng naunang kautusan at bilang
pag-alalay na rin sa maayos na paraan ng paglilipat
ng Palawan mula sa Kanlurang Visayas sa ilalim ng
MIMAROPA.
 Ang MIMAROPA o Rehiyon IV-B ay isang rehiyon
sa bahagi ng Luzon, na may kabuung sukat na
27,455.9 kilometro kwadrado. Ang rehiyong ito ay
binubuo ng mga lalawigan ng Occidental
Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque,
Romblon at Palawan.

6. Human
Geography

7. Because Mimaropa is ancient, it is
home to indigenous peoples. The
Mangyans survive in Mindoro (they
speak seven different languages:
Irava, Alangan, Tambuid,
Hanunuo, Tadyawan, Buhid and
Ratagnon).

8.  In Palawan there are many cultural
groups: Cuyonon & Agutayon,
considered the ethnic elite of the
province; Muslim groups such as Molbog,
Jama Mapun and Tausug live in the
southern coast; Tagbanuas the largest
indigenous group inhabiting the central
portion; And there are even smaller
cultural communities like Pala’wan, Taut
batu, Batak, Ken-uy and Kalamian.

9. Romblon, because it is near
the Visayas has three main
languages, Romblomanon,
Asi and Onhan – they belong
to the Visayan language
family.

10.  Marinduque has no indigenous groups
except Tagalogs, but many descendants
of the Asi tribe live in the southern part
of the island and they are known to still
cling to their roots in Banton. Tagalog
spoken in Marinduque has been
carefully studied and it has been
concluded that the language spoken here
is the root from which modern national
forms of speech have sprung. (1914 study
by Cecilio Lopez). T

12. • Agricultural products such as palay,
coconut, banana, citrus, cassava,
vegetables, livestock, marine and
fishery products for food/agri-
processing industry
• Host to many and diverse natural
attractions such as coral reefs,
white sandy beaches, rivers, dive
sites and national parks, wildlife
sanctuaries, caves and forest
reserve for tourism development
MAJOR RESOURCES

13.  In 2007, MIMAROPA's economy surged by 9.4%, making it
the fastest growing region in the country in that year.[9] It
was aided by robust growth in the industrial sector which
grew by 19.1% from -6.1% in 2006.[9]

14.  MIMAROPA experienced a big
slowdown in 2006, posting a
decelerated growth of 2.3% from a
6.4% increase in 2005. This resulted
mainly from the slump in the industry
sector, which shrunk by 5.4% in 2006
from its 10.8% increase in 2005.

15.  The agriculture, forestry, and fishing
sector, which contributed 42.1% to the
total regional economy, grew by 9.1% in
2006, accelerating from 3.2% the
previous year. The higher production of
palay, corn, other crops, livestock and
fishery resulted in the accelerated
growth in the total agriculture and
fishery sector.

16.  The industry sector, which contributed 38.3% to the
region’s total economy, was the second largest
contributor next to agriculture. Its decline of 5.4%
was largely attributed to the decrease in the mining
and quarrying subsector, which went down by 15.4%
due to the reduced production of natural gas in
Palawan. Mining and quarrying contributed 16.6%
to the total regional economy. The positive growth in
the electricity and water, construction and
manufacturing subsectors were not able to
compensate to the drop in the mining and quarrying
subsector.

17.  The service sector, on the other hand,
posted an accelerated growth of 5.1%,
which was attributed to the increase in
the TCS, finance, private services,
government services and trade
subsectors, which managed to post
accelerated growths of 6.0%, 5.5%,
5.1%, 5.1% and 4.7%, respectively. The
other subsector, however, had a
decelerated growth due to the
slowdown in the ownership of dwelling.
