It has four cities: industrial center Cauayan City, its regional center Tuguegarao, its primary growth center and investment hub Ilagan City and its Premier City Santiago City.

Most of the region lies in a large valley in northeastern Luzon, between the Cordilleras and the Sierra Madre mountain ranges. The eponymous Cagayan River, the country's longest, runs through its center and flows out to the Luzon Strait in the north, at the town of Aparri, Cagayan. The Babuyan and Batanes island groups that lie in the Luzon Strait belong to the region.

Cagayan Valley is the second largest region of the Philippines in terms of land area.

Chocolate Hills are a geological formation in Bohol Province, Philippines.^[1] There are at least 1,260 hills but there may be as many as 1,776 hills spread over an area of more than 50 square kilometres (20 sq mi).^[2] They are covered in green grass that turns brown (like chocolate) during the dry season, hence the name.

The Chocolate Hills are a famous tourist attraction of Bohol. They are featured in the provincial flag and seal to symbolize the abundance of natural attractions in the province.^[3] They are in the Philippine Tourism Authority's list of tourist destinations in the Philippines;^[4] they have been declared the country's third National Geological Monument and proposed for inclusion in the UNESCOWorld Heritage List.

Pasig River (Filipino: Ilog Pasig, Spanish: Río Pásig), is a river in thePhilippines that connects Laguna de Bay to Manila Bay. Stretching for 25 kilometres (15.5 mi), it bisects the Philippine capital of Manila and its surrounding urban area into northern and southern halves. Its majortributaries are the Marikina River and San Juan River.

The Pasig River is technically a tidal estuary, as the flow direction depends upon the water level difference between Manila Bay and Laguna de Bay. During the dry season, the water level in Laguna de Bay is low with the river's flow direction dependent on the tides. During the wet season, when the water level of Laguna de Bay is high, the flow is reversed towards Manila Bay.

The Pasig River used to be an important transport route and source of water for Spanish Manila. Due to negligence and industrial development, the river has become very polluted and is considered dead (i.e., unable to sustain life) by ecologists. The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC), which was established to oversee rehabilitation efforts for the river, is supported by private sector organisations such as the Clean and Green Foundation, Inc. that introduced the Piso para sa Pasig (Filipino: "A peso for the Pasig") campaign in the 1990s.

The genus comprises about 1200 species, and has a native range that extends from Africa and Madagascar through southern Asia east through thePacific. Its highest levels of diversity occur from Malaysiato northeastern Australia, where many species are very poorly known and many more have not been described taxonomically. Fifty-two species are found in Australia and are generally known as lillipillies, brush cherries orsatinash.

Carambola, also known as starfruit, is the fruit of Averrhoa carambola, a species of tree native to the Philippines,Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Cat

 (though it's not a cat).

It is a nocturnal animal that is called musang in southern Luzon and balos in Davao del Sur and South Cotabato. The alamid uses its nose to find ripe, sweet coffee beans.

Coffee beans harvested from the feces of the civet called motit in the northern part of the Philippines are considered top grade. After cleaning, the coffee beans are sold for as much as a thousand American dollars per pound.  

The Philippine falconet (Microhierax erythrogenys) is aspecies of bird of prey in the Falconidae family. It is endemicto the Philippines. It is fairly common on Luzon, Mindanao, Mindoro and Visayas but is absent elsewhere.

Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland primary and secondary forests. Seen singly or in pairs, it perches on prominent branches on old dead trees from which it hawks for flying insects. It nests in old woodpecker holes. The upperparts, flanks and thighs are a glossy blue-black, the underparts white and the beak and feet black. The call is a noisy `kek-kek-kek-kek` while diving for prey. It is about 16 cm in length.

The Camiguin forest rat has small, nearly naked ears, relatively large forefeet, and long, wide hindfeet (3). The relatively short tail, which measures less than the head and body length, is almost entirely hairless (3).

The scientific name of this species, gamay, means ‘little’ or ‘small sized’ in the local Philippine language, and refers to the Camiguin forest rat’s small size compared to other Bullimus species.

Platymantis dorsalis is a species of frog in theCeratobatrachidae family. It is endemic to the Philippines.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowlandforests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests,plantations, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.

The red-vented cockatoo (Cacatua haematuropygia) sometimes called the Philippine cockatoo or kalangay, is a critically endangeredspecies of cockatoo that is endemic to thePhilippines.
