We always use the options tag -
eg if I have a collection of beans with getters and setters for label and value
attributes in my form bean, I have the following in jsp:
<bean:define id="reportsList" name="reportsMenuForm"
property="reportsList"/>
<html:select property="reportToPrint"
onchange="processReportType(this)">
<html:options collection="reportsList" property="value"
labelProperty="label"/>
</html:select>
1.1 also has a new tag to avoid the bean:define, but we haven't migrated yet.
Cheers,

Subject: RE: [Q] select : Option - Urgent Help required.
No one on my team has been able to get the Collections iterator to work for
<html:options> so we are doing as I posted. If you have some insight into
getting it to work, I'm all eyes!
Also, the iterate name should not be enclosed in JSP session variable
delimiters unless a method is being called to get the value.

You could use the <html:options> tag

I'm not totally clear on your Region or bean attributes, but the idea is
something like:
// bean property to set/get
<html:select property="selectedRegion">
// List to iterate, type is fully-qualified path,
// id is arbitrary, property is List element
<logic:iterate name="<%= regions %>"
property="id"
type="Region"
id="region">
// set the option value
<html:option value="<%= region.getId() %>">
// set the option label
<bean:write name="region" property="String" />
</html:option>
</logic:iterate>
</html:select>
