{{hidden end}}}}Central Luzon (, , , ), designated as Region III, is an administrative region in the Philippines, primarily serving to organize the 7 provinces of the vast central plains of the island of Luzon (the largest island), for administrative convenience. The region contains the largest plain in the country and produces most of the country’s rice supply, earning itself the nickname “Rice Granary of the Philippines”.BOOK,books.google.com/books?id=epsmm-bhnqcC, Climate Change, Justice and Sustainability: Linking Climate and Development Policy, Edenhofer, Ottmar, Wallacher, Johannes, Lotze-Campen, Hermann, Reder, Michael, Knopf, Brigitte, Müller, Johannes, June 25, 2012, Springer Science & Business Media, 9789400745407, 206, en, Climate Change, Justice and Sustainability, Its provinces are: Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales.WEB, Central Luzon, Region III, Philippines,flagspot.net/flags/ph-iii.html, flagspot.net, Pangasinan was formerly a province of Central Luzon before President Marcos signed Presidential Decree No. 1, 1972, incorporating it into Ilocos Region. Additionally, the province of Aurora was part of the defunct political region Southern Tagalog when the region was divided into Calabarzon and Mimaropa, upon the issuance of Executive Order No. 103, dated May 17, 2002, by then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, which transferred Aurora to Central Luzon.

Etymology

The current name of the region refers to its position on the island of Luzon. The term was coined by American colonialists after the defeat of the First Philippine Republic. There have been proposals to rename the current Central Luzon region into the Luzones region. The proposed name is in reference to the old name of Luzon island, Luções, which was later used to refer to the central area of the island, stretching from Pangasinan in the north, all the way to Pampanga in the south.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} The term Luções literally translates into Luzones.WEB,opinion.inquirer.net/95645/change-name-will-good-philippines, Change in name will be good for Philippines, July 15, 2016, WEB, Should the Philippines be renamed?
