Calamianes
The Calamian Islands sit at the northern end of Palawan, between Mindoro and the mainland, where the South China Sea meets the Sulu Sea. Four municipalities share them: Busuanga and Coron on Busuanga Island, Culion on its own island to the south, and Linapacan, a town made entirely of islands.
The area
Coron Island is a Tagbanua ancestral domain, Calauit has been a wildlife sanctuary since the 1970s, and the Japanese ships sunk in September 1944 now lie on the floor of the bays around Coron.
