Isabela, the second largest among the Philippines' 82 provinces, is located on the northeastern seaboard of the island of Luzon – the biggest among the 7,107 islands comprising the Philippine archipelago. Its capital is the City of Ilagan. This primarily agricultural province is the rice and corn granary of Luzon due to its plain and rolling terrain.

The province of Isabela is dubbed as the new "Rice Granary of the Philippines." It is blessed with water as complementary natural resources through the Magat River Integrated Irrigation System that irrigates about 85,000 hectares of farmlands favoring the large-scale production of premium quality grain crops like rice and corn. With the sustainability of its golden yields, the province was awarded Top Corn Producer and second in rice production in the Philippines.
