Philippines: Batanes Provincial Profile
O
Batanes is situated at longitude 121 53’ east and at latitude 22 20’ north. Batanes is nearer to Taiwan than mainland Luzon at about 860 kilometers north of the center of government in
O
Manila, about 280 kilometers from Aparri, and about 190 kilometers south of Taiwan. It is separated from Taiwan by the deep Bashi Channel in the north and from Babuyan Islands of
Cagayan Province by the Balintang Channel in the south. The Pacific Ocean in the east and the Philippine Sea in the West drain in these channels, producing powerful, treacherous currents
that make Batanes difficult to access by light sea craft. It is the smallest province of the Philippines, with a land mass only one
third of that of Metro Manila. Its vast territorial waters of 4,500 square kilometers is around 20 times more than its land area of
only about 229 square kilometers of which 31.5 square kilometers represent the combined land areas of the 7 uninhabited 0 6 29
islets. Its small area limits its land based resources but its vast territorial waters teem with migratory, deep sea fish. (Source:
