Batangas, Province in Luzon, Philippines
Batangas extends across 3,119 square kilometers of southwestern Luzon, featuring mountains, beaches, and coastlines along the South China Sea and Verde Island Passages.
Spanish explorers encountered the first Malay settlements at Pansipit River in 1570, leading to the formal establishment of Batangas province in 1578.
The province maintains the purest form of Tagalog language, reflecting linguistic patterns that closely connect to the original structure of this national language.
Regular bus services connect Batangas to Metro Manila through the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road, with direct routes to major commercial centers and tourist destinations.
The waters around Verde Island Passage contain the highest concentration of marine species in the Philippines, establishing Batangas as a center of marine biodiversity.
