The Countryside in Figures: Guimaras, 2018 Edition

Overview of Guimaras

Guimaras is one of the six (6) provinces that comprise Western Visayas, Region VI as also called. As an island province, it is located southeast of Panay Island and northwest of Negros Island and bounded by Iloilo Strait in the northwest, Guimaras strait in the northeast, and Panay Gulf in the south. Guimaras is the smallest of the six (6) provinces of Western Visayas both in terms of land area (604.57sq km) and population size 174,613 (as of 2015 Census).

Historically, Guimaras was a sub-province of Iloilo by virtue of RA No. 4667 dated June 18, 1966 with three municipalities, Jordan, Buenavista and Nueva Valencia. On May 22, 1992, it became a full-fledged province pursuant to Section 465 of Republic Act No. 7160. Three years later, on May 8, 1995, two (2) new municipalities were added under Republic Act Nos. 7896 and 7897, the municipality of San Lorenzo, carved from Buenavista and Jordan and the municipality of Sibunag, taken from Jordan and Nueva Valencia.

From 1966, Guimaras had 96 barangays until December 2001 when two (2) additional barangays were created making a total 98. These two barangays were carved from the municipality of Sibunag.

Adorned by white sand beaches, natural and exotic attractions like caves, coves, springs, falls, marine garden and off- shore islets, Guimaras has become a favorite destination to both foreign and domestic tourists. Visitors are on peak during the “Pagtaltal sa Guimaras” a Lenten presentation and “Manggahan Festival” every May. The only Monastery in the Philippines, Trappist Monastery, also offers a tranquil place fro group retreats and prayers and solidarity reflection.

Guimaras, dubbed as the “Mango Country of the Philippines,” is accessible by air and sea from Manila and other destination via Iloilo City. From Iloilo Wharf, it can be reached by a 20- minute motorboat or Roll-On-Roll-Off trip.
