Philippines: Guimaras Provincial Profile
Guimaras is located Southwest of Panay Island and Northwest of Negros Island in Western Visayas with a total land area of 60,465 hectares or 604.65 square
kilometers. Guimaras is considered one of the exotic islands in the Philippines. The original name was Himal-us but was changed to Guimaras after the folktale of the
ill-fated lovers named Princess Guima and the slave Aras, who defied tradition for their romance. The island was once a sub-province of Iloilo but by virtue of R.A. 7160
it was proclaimed a regular province on May 22, 1992. The island province of Guimaras is composed of five
towns: Buenavista (36 barangays), Nueva Valencia (22 barangays), Jordan (14 barangays), San Lorenzo (12 0 5 98
barangays), and Sibunag (12 barangays). (Source: http://www.tourism.gov.ph/sitepages/Interac-
