Philippines: Aklan Provincial Profile
Aklan is a mountainous province with over one-third of its land area sloping at 30 percent on the average. It is still one of the few provinces in the country to maintain a total of some 709
hectares of virgin forest. Mountain ranges traverse the island: one; the northern “knot” of Duyang and Tagacan; and the other, the Albinian mountain ranges in the west. Mount Madyaas, at
ROMBLON
2117 meters, is the second highest peak on Panay and is shared by Aklan and Antique. The province has no active volcano, therefore, earthquakes have not been severe, although three
faults pass through it. The province has a total land area of 1,817 sq. kms. The coastline of Aklan stretches for some 155
kilometers along 10 municipalities and 73 barangays. The coastline has two major physical features: Batan Bay in the
south-east and Boracay Island at the northern tip of Panay Island. The plains of Aklan constitute an area of 100 square 0 17 327
kilometers shaped into a diamond that includes the central towns of Malinao and Banga and the western coastal towns of
New Washington, Kalibo and Makato. (Source: http://aklan.gov.ph/profile/geographical-information/) CITY MUNICIPALITIES BARANGAYS
