Ambos Camarines (Spanish: ambos, meaning "both";[2] commonly known as Camarines), officially the Province of Ambos Camarines, was a historical province in the Philippines found on the northern end of the Bicol Peninsula. It now exists as two separate provinces—Camarines Norte (North) and Camarines Sur (South).
The province was founded in 1579 and was split into two, Camarines Norte and Sur in 1829. They were reunited under the province Ambos Camarines in 1854, but was separated again after three years.[citation needed] In 1893, they were reunited until March 10, 1917, when Act No. 2711[3] formed most of the present-day provinces, including Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur.
