    Region 2: Cagayan Valley

    History:
    Region 2, or Cagayan Valley, in the Philippines, has a history deeply rooted in pre-colonial
    indigenous societies. Spanish colonization began in the late 16th century, with Juan de Salcedo's
    exploration and the establishment of Ciudad Nueva Segovia (now Lal-lo) in 1581 marking a
    significant turning point. The region's administrative boundaries shifted over time, with the creation
    of Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya provinces in the 19th century. Throughout its history, Cagayan Valley
    has been shaped by its strategic location, fertile lands, and the diverse cultural traditions of its
    inhabitants, including the Ivatans of Batanes and other indigenous groups, alongside later arrivals
    like the Ilocano.

    Geography:
    - Region 2, Cagayan Valley, in the Philippines, is characterized by its expansive valley, traversed by
    the Cagayan River, the country's longest and widest. This valley is bordered by significant mountain
    ranges: the Cordillera Central to the west, and the Sierra Madre to the east, with the Caraballo
    Mountains to the south providing natural protection. The region also boasts a substantial coastline
    along the Pacific Ocean, including the Babuyanes and Balintang Channels, and encompasses the
    northernmost Batanes Islands, a unique volcanic archipelago. This diverse geography contributes to
    the region's rich agricultural potential and diverse ecosystems.
