The Philippines has 17 administrative regions. This quiz shows a blank map of the Philippines. You type the name of each region, and the map colors that region in place.
A region groups provinces. This quiz asks for the 17 regions, not the 82 provinces.
How to play
Type names in any order. A correct name colors the region on the map at once.
You can start to type right away. You do not need to click the answer box first.
Short forms of the long official names count. "Cordillera" scores the Cordillera Administrative Region, and "Metro Manila" scores the National Capital Region.
A timer tracks your run. The quiz saves your best score and best time.
If you are stuck, use the give up button. The map then shows the regions you missed.
What counts in this quiz
All 17 regions.
Acronym names count as written. Calabarzon, Mimaropa and Soccsksargen are the official names of those regions.
"Bangsamoro" and the older name "Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao" score the same region.
What's not included — and why
Provinces are not answers. Cebu, Palawan and Batangas are provinces inside a region.
Cities are not answers. The city of Manila does not score — the National Capital Region does.
Good to know
Calabarzon has the most people of the 17 regions.
The National Capital Region is the smallest region by area, and it holds more than 13 million people.
The name Soccsksargen combines South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos.
Bangsamoro is the newest region. It replaced the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao after a vote in 2019.
