Philippines: Aurora Provincial Profile
The Province of Aurora, with Baler as its capital, was founded by President Ferdinand E. Marcos in August 13, 1979 by virtue of Batas Bambansa Blg. 7. This act was the
fulfillment of the prayers of the people of the former Municipalities of Baler and Casiguran to be truly independent from the Province of Quezon for the first time since the Spanish
occupation. The province has a total land area of 323,954 hectares, representing about one percent of the country's total land area. It is located on the East-Central side of Luzon
Island bounded in north-eastern most province of Central Luzon (Region III). It is bordered on the north by the
IFUGAO provinces of Isabela and Qurino, on the west by by Nueva Ecija and Nueva Viscaya, on the south by Bulacan and
Quezon, and on the east by the Pacific Ocean. The province's main link to the rest of Luzon is through a narrow 0 8 151
mountain gravel road that twists through the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. The road is located between Baler and
Bongabon, Nueva Ecija. (Source: http://www.aurora.ph/geninfo.html) CITY MUNICIPALITIES BARANGAYS
