Mimaropa
Mimaropa (usually capitalized in official government documents), formally known as the Southwestern Tagalog Region, is an administrative region in the Philippines. It was also formerly but still colloquially designated as Region IV-B until 2016. 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: Mindoro (divided into Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro), Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan. The region was part of the now-defunct Southern Tagalog region until May 17, 2002. 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''.

Mountains Of The Philippines
The following is a partial list of mountains in the Philippines. Several of these are volcanoes, formed by subducting tectonic plates surrounding the archipelago. List This list contains most of the highest mountains in the country. It is limited to mountain peaks with, if known, an elevation of at least above sea level, and may include those considered as hills. The distinction between a hill and a mountain in terms of elevation is unclear and largely subjective, but a hill is universally considered to be less tall and less steep than a mountain. * ''Name'': mountains are sorted according to ''only name''s (without the "Mount" prefix) for easier reference in name and spelling variants. Unnamed peaks are ''italicized''. ''(note: to minimize clutter, citations for names are limited only to mountains with variant names, spellings, and/or those that currently do not have elevation data)'' * ''Elevation'': sorted in meters above sea level ''(note: Some mountains may contain sev ...
