Location and geography

Manlot is a small wooded island northeast of the Panay Island coast in the Visayan Sea. It is 370 metres (400 yd) southeast of Himamylan Island and directly west of Calagnaan Island. The body of water between Calagnaan and nearby Binuluangan Island is known as the Nilidlaran Pass, which is divided into two narrow channels by Manlot. [3] [4] Although a part of Carles, Manlot is a quick 15 minute pumpboat ride from Estancia.

While the island belongs to the Manlot barangay, which is politically administered by Carles, Manlot island is privately owned by the Matta family. [1]
