Oriental Mindoro, Administrative province on Mindoro island, Philippines

Oriental Mindoro extends across 4,238 square kilometers of varied landscapes, from coastal areas to mountain ranges, including the 2,616-meter Mount Halcon peak.

The region separated from its western counterpart in 1950 through Republic Act 505, forming two distinct provinces on the island of Mindoro.

The Mangyan indigenous communities maintain their traditional practices in the highland areas, preserving their distinct languages and customs through generations.

The provincial capital Calapan connects to Manila through regular ferry services across Verde Island Passage, offering transportation for both residents and visitors.

The Verde Island Passage marine corridor contains some of the highest concentrations of marine species in the Philippines, supporting local fishing communities.
