National Capital Region

The National Capital Region (NCR) is a special area that includes the capital city of a country and nearby surrounding regions. It functions as the political, economic, and cultural center, often hosting government offices, businesses, and landmarks. The NCR is usually well-developed with infrastructure to support the government and population it serves. It helps coordinate policies, transport, and services across its components, ensuring smooth operation of the nation's administrative and economic activities. In the Philippines, for example, the NCR includes Metro Manila and surrounding provinces, making it the country's hub of governance, business, and culture.
