The old MountainProvince was composed of Benguet, Ifugao, Bontoc, Kalinga and Apayao. But on June 1966, Republic Act No. 4695 known as the Division Law divided the old MountainProvince into four regular and independent provinces namely Benguet, Ifugao, Mt.Province and Kalinga-Apayao. Abra was a separate independent province lodged with Ilocs Sur.
In 1972 , Presidential Order No. 1 (Regionalization Law) divided the whole country into 13 regions. Abra, Benguet, Mt.Province and Baguio became part of Region I while Ifugao and Kalinga-Apayao were included in Region 2. Efforts calling for the creation of a new separate Cordillera region failed.
