1/ Created into a region under RA No. 7901 dated February 23, 1995, taken from Region 10 and Region 11.

Note: In 2000, the population of disputed areas was reported in the next higher geographic level. For example, the population of province A claimed both Province A and B will be reflected in the region, but not in Province A nor Province B. This explains the discrepancy when one sums up the province details which is less than the regional totals.
