The island of Panay belongs to the Western Visayas Region in central Philippines and is divided into five provinces, namely Aklan, Antique, Capiz and Iloilo and Guimaras. It is surrounded by various bodies of water and is characterized by relatively wide stretch of coastal lowlands with rugged hills and mountains on the interiors, making Panay a heart of diverse marine life, inland fishery and various agricultural products. The island is also competitively advantageous in the production of seaweed and is being considered as the second largest rice producing region in the Philippines. Its large agricultural land area produces coconut, mangoes, pineapples, root crops, vegetables and the well-known muscovado, the origin of sugar in Panay and the Philippines. Rattan craft is also a large local industry.
