The Cordillera is a region of six provinces and a city, all located in the Gran Cordillera Central Mountain Ranges of Northern Luzon. The region is officially called the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), and by promulgation of law, the City of Baguio and the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao, Mt. Province, Apayao, Kalinga, and Abra make up the CAR.
The Philippine Constitution provides that there shall be a Cordillera Autonomous Region subject to ratification by the Cordillerans through a plebiscite.A plebiscite was conducted but the result of the exercise was negative, thus, necessitating a status quo in which the six provinces and the city had to collectively operate and govern as a simple administrative region.
