Area of Responsibility:
Western Visayas (Hiligaynon: Kabisay-an Nakatundan; Tagalog:
Kanlurang Kabisayaan) is an administrative region in the
Philippines, numerically designated as Region VI. It consists of
six provinces: (Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, Iloilo and Negros
Occidental) and two highly urbanized cities : (Bacolod City and
Iloilo City). The regional center is Iloilo City.[2] The region is
dominated by the native speakers of four Visayan languages:
Kinaray-a, Hiligaynon, Aklanon and Capiznon. The land area of the
region is 20,794.18 km2 (8,028.68 sq mi), and with a population of
7,536,383 inhabitants, it is the most populous region in the
Visayas.
On May 29, 2015, the region was redefined, when Western Visayas
(Region VI) both lost the province of Negros Occidental and the
highly urbanized city of Bacolod to the newly formed Negros Island
Region. However, the region was dissolved, with Negros Occidental
and Bacolod returned to Western Visayas on August 9, 2017.
