Guimaras, Island province in Western Visayas, Philippines.

Guimaras encompasses 604 square kilometers of land mass with five municipalities, including Jordan as its capital and Buenavista as its largest town.

The region transformed from a sub-province of Iloilo to an independent province in 1992 through Republic Act 4667 and a subsequent public referendum.

The Manggahan Festival in May brings together residents and visitors for mango-themed events, agricultural exhibitions, and traditional competitions.

Travelers reach the province by taking pump boats from Iloilo City, with regular ferry services operating from two main ports throughout the day.

The province supplies half of the Philippines' mango exports and maintains strict agricultural standards to preserve the quality of its fruit production.
