Tong Talun

Tong Talun is an older name associated with Semporna on the eastern coast of northern Borneo. The coast faces a maze of islands, reefs and sheltered waters on the edge of the Celebes Sea. Sea-oriented communities have long moved among these islands and the shores of Borneo and the southern Philippines. Fishing and boat travel connect a region whose many small islands lie close to the great routes through the Sulu and Celebes seas.
