LUZON

Luzon refers to the largest and most economically and politically important island in the Philippines and to one of the three island groups in the country, with Visayas and Mindanao being the other two. Luzon as an island group includes the island of Luzon itself, plus the Batanes and Babuyan groups of islands to the north, and the main and outlying islands of Catanduanes, Marinduque, Masbate, Romblon, and Mindoro in the south. The island group of Palawan, which used to be a province belonging to an administrative region of Luzon, has been transferred to Region VI in the Visayas in 2005. In old maps, it was called Luconia or Lucon and inhabitants were called Lucoes. Historically, Luzon also came to be known as the Nueva Castilla or the New Castile.
