[edit] All caps?

Is there a reason this is in all caps? -- Cyrius|✎ 23:47, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

It's an acronym that stands for the provinces it is composed of. CAvite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon. TheCoffee 02:35, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Eyeballs slid right over that part of the article, whoops. -- Cyrius|✎ 02:59, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CalabarzonA?

We need a local, I think, to clarify the CALABARZON/CALABARZONA issue?

The latter's article seems to indicate that the latter supercedes the former, as being composed of the latter's five components plus one more that's unconnected to the others, is that it? Or am I missing something? DS 14:19, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I've never heard of this "CALABARZONA". Aurora province is in a different region, and to my knowledge it was never part of CALABARZON. No Google hits for "calabarzona". If this is supposed to be a hoax, it's pretty lame. Coffee 16:41, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Okay, that's good enough for me. I'll switch it to a redirect. DS 16:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I would do. Coffee 17:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Actually, the original components of the Southern Tagalog Region (Region 4) prior to its break-up were: Aurora, CALABARZON, and MIMAROPA. There was a time when the splitting of Region 4 was not official yet, that is, when CALABARZON and MIMAROPA were sub-regions of Region 4. Then there was the issue with Aurora province, so CALABARZON became CALABARZONA for a while.When the split into official regions happened, that was the time when Aurora was officially transferred to Region 3, thus the duration of calling the sub-region CALABARZONA was brief, hence its non-popularity. Although i do remember that some people argued back then that CALABARZON is ok to use over CALABARZONA since the "AR" string would somehow incorporate Aurora into the acronym...Meynardtengco 17:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
