 List of regions of Philippines

In the Philippines, regions are administrative divisions that primarily serve to coordinate planning and organize national government services across multiple local government units (LGUs). Most national government offices provide services through their regional branches instead of having direct provincial or city offices. Regional offices are usually but not necessarily located in the city designated as the regional center.

 List of regions of Philippines

Currently, the Philippines is divided into 17 regions. Sixteen of these are mere administrative groupings, each provided by the President of the Philippines with a regional development council (RDC) — in the case of the National Capital Region, an additional metropolitan authority serves as the coordinating and policy-making body. Only one, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, has an elected government to which the Congress of the Philippines has delegated certain powers and responsibilities.
