“Coron Island”
(Tekstong Deskriptibo)
Coron Island comprises two barangays, Banuang Daan and Cabugao, all of
them belong to the Indigenous Cultural Communities. There are 373 households with
a population of 2,028 individuals of Tagbanua in the Island. The primary users of the
resources of the island are the residents of these two settlements. Majority of the
residents of the two barangays are seldom seen in the mountains except for the
gatherers of edible bird's nests on towering cliffs that serve as the major source of
income for Indigenous people in the island. Coron Island is wedge-shaped limestone
island, dominated by Permian Limestone of Jurassic origin, with few of its coastal
areas being covered by mangrove forests. It is situated in the Calamianes group of
Islands and belongs to the Municipality of Coron.
Some of the rare places not found in the regions are the fantastic and
legendary lagoons which are wide, deep and with very clear water, interestingly
nestled in one huge and rocky island popularly known as the Coron Islands.
Encircled by giant walls of limestone cliffs, this jewel of a mountain, boarders the
beautiful and wide Coron harbor, where more wonders of nature abide.
Coron is the largest town on the island. The municipality covers part of
Busuanga Island and all of the nearby Coron Island. Both islands are part of the
Calamian Group of Islands in northern Palawan.
The area is famous for its World War II wreck diving, and the site has been
named in many lists of top dive spots in the world. In September 1944, a fleet of
Japanese ships hiding in the harbor were sunk in a daring raid by the US navy. The
result is around ten well preserved underwater shipwrecks surrounded with coral reef.
There are also attractions on Coron Island itself. There are many beautiful
bleach white sand beaches, mostly tiny and surrounded by large limestone cliffs and
wildlife. Barracuda and Kayangan lakes are both stunning locations, and good for
snorkeling, and the island is the ancestral domain of an indigenous tribe who are
managing the island in a sustainable way and keeping outsiders at a distance and
offshore at night.
