Occidental Mindoro, Administrative province in western Mindoro Island, Philippines
Occidental Mindoro extends across 5,865 square kilometers, encompassing coastal regions, mountains, rivers, and agricultural lands along the western portion of Mindoro Island.
The province gained independent administration in 1950 when Mindoro Island divided into two separate regions, establishing Mamburao as its capital city.
The Mangyan communities maintain their traditional practices through seven distinct tribes, each preserving their languages and customs within the mountainous regions.
Transportation networks connect municipalities through provincial roads, while regular ferry services from Batangas City provide access to multiple ports in the province.
The province contains Mount Baco, reaching 2,488 meters high, which creates a natural boundary between the western and eastern territories of Mindoro Island.
