Welcome to
Sibuyan Island
Sibuyan is a crescent-shaped island, the second-largest in an archipelago comprising Romblon Province, Philippines. Located in the namesake Sibuyan Sea, it has an area of 445 square kilometers (172 sq mi) and has a total population of 62,815 as of the 2020 census.
Sibuyan has been dubbed by some local and international natural scientists as "the Galápagos of Asia" because it has remained in isolation from the rest of the world since its formation. Never in its geological history has it ever been connected with any part of the Philippine archipelago. Seismic forces pushed up a 2,000 meters (6,600 ft) peak from the earth's crust, forming a series of smaller peaks and slopes. The peak is Mt. Guiting-Guiting (literally means "the saw-toothed mountain", in reference to its jagged ridge). Because of the steep slopes, much of its original forest remains untouched, and the rest is the island as we find it today.
