Pan de Azucar, variously known as Tampisaw Island or Tambaliza (which is also the name of one of the barangays on the island), is a populated island in the Visayan Sea in the Philippines. The island is known for Mount Pan de Azucar (Sugarloaf Mountain) a steep volcanic cone and a prominent landmark at the northern entrance of Guimaras Strait.[1]
Pan de Azucar is under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Concepcion, Iloilo on Panay Island, one of the largest and major islands of the Philippines. Pan de Azucar is the largest of 16 outlying islands of the town and makes up nearly 19 percent of Concepcion's total land area. According to the 2015 census, the island has a population of 7,502.[2]
The island possibly contains valuable mineral deposits and is being studied for mineral extraction, which could possibly destroy the natural beauty of the island and mountain.[3]
