Babuyan

Babuyan lies on the eastern side of Palawan, where rivers descend from forested hills toward the Sulu Sea. It belongs to the homeland of the Batak people, whose communities also lived along the rivers and coasts at Tanabag, Langogan and Buayan. Their language, Binatak, links these scattered settlements across the landscape. The forests and waterways of northeastern Palawan provided the setting for a way of life rooted in the island's interior as well as its coast.
