Palawan Information


Palawan consists of 367 barangays, 23 municipalities, and 2 congressional districts that divide the province into the north and south sections.

13 municipalities are considered as mainland municipalities, and these are:
  • San Vicente, Roxas, Dumaran, El Nido, and Taytay (located in the north). 
  • Aborlan, Narra, Quezon, Sofronio Española, Brooke's Point, Rizal, and Bataraza (located in the south),
The remaining 10 municipalities are island municipalities, and they are:
  • Busuanga, Coron, Linapacan and Culion (forming the Calamianes group of islands), Cuyo, Agutaya and Magsaysay (the Cuyo group of islands), Araceli, Cagayancillo, Balabac and Kalayaan (Spratly Islands).
The capital of Palawan is Puerto Princesa, positioned at the center of the main island. Puerto Princesa is a highly-urbanized city that governs itself independently from the province, although it is usually grouped with the rest of municipalities in the province for statistical purposes.
