Camarines Sur

Camarines Sur is the largest among the six provinces in the Bicol Region both in terms of population and land area. Its territory encompasses two cities: Naga City, the lone chartered city, is the province’s and the region's commercial, educational, financial, and cultural center, while Iriga City, a component city, is the center of the Rinconada area.

The Province is agricultural-based producing rice, corn, feed meal, freshwater fish, and livestock.

Some of the tourist attractions are Our Lady of Penafrancia Church in Naga City and the 19th century churches in Goa, San Jose and Sagnay. The world's smallest fish is found in Lake Buhi, Iriga City. There are two active (or considered dormant) volcanoes with trails: Mt. Isarog and Mt. Asog. The beaches of Sagnay and Caramoan have coral reefs, and white and black sand beaches. Naga city has the night life and metropolitan needs.

Being in the Bicol Region, the main language spoken in Camarines Sur is Bikol. Filipino linguists consider the dialect of Bikol spoken around Naga City, Bicol Central, as the standard Bikol easily understood by all Bicolanos, also known as Bikol Naga, not to be confused with Bikol Canaman, the purest dialect of Bikol according to Jesuit Anthropologist Frank Lynch, S.J.). Some of the other dialects spoken in the province are Buhi-non (a dialect of Bicol Albay), spoken in the southern part of the province around lake Buhi, and Rinconada Bikol (also known as Bikol Nabua), which is used in the area around Nabua. A dialect of Naga Bikol, called Partido is used in the eastern portion of the province around Lagonoy Gulf. Most inhabitants understand Tagalog and English.
