List of Landlocked Provinces in The Philippines

- All provinces of Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR): Apayao, Abra, Kalinga, Mt. Province, Ifugao and Benguet
- Two provinces of Cagayan Valley (Region II): Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino
- Two provinces of Central Luzon (Region III): Nueva Ecija and Tarlac
- Four provinces of Mindanao:
- Bukidnon of Northern Mindanao (Region X)
- Cotabato Province of Soccsksargen (Region XII)
- Agusan del Sur of Caraga (Region XIII), and
Similarly, Laguna and Rizal Province of CALABARZON (Region IV-A) have coastlines on Laguna de Bay. Since lakes do not allow access to seaborne trade, these provinces are still considered to be landlocked.
