Mimaropa, Administrative region in southwestern Philippines.

Mimaropa encompasses five provinces: Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan, covering 29,620 square kilometers of islands and coastal territories.

The region separated from Southern Tagalog in 2002, and in 2016 Republic Act 10879 established it as the Southwestern Tagalog Region.

The population of 3.2 million people speaks multiple languages including Tagalog, Romblomanon, Bantoanon, Cuyonon, and Hiligaynon across different communities.

Transportation between provinces relies on ferries and boats, while Calapan serves as the regional center with Puerto Princesa as the largest city.

The region's name combines the first letters of its constituent provinces, reflecting the administrative unification of these distinct island territories.
