Languages

Agutaya is home to a specific language, called the Agutaynen language, spoken by 10,000 people overall. Today, half of its speakers live in Agutaya, while the rest live in other communities of Palawan.[8] Tagalog and Cuyonon are also widely spoken.

Geography

Map of Agutaya

Agutaya Island is the second largest of the Cuyo group with an area of about 4.5 square miles (12 km2). The north-eastern part is hilly. Four peaks tower over the island. The middle and highest of the four peaks, 885 feet (270 m) high, is covered with cogon, the others being wooded.[3]

Native sailboats used to be unable to sail to and from the nearby island of Cuyo (only 20 miles away), due to the strength of the monsoon, either the Northwest monsoon in wintertime, or the Southwest monsoon in summer.[9]

Volcano

Agutaya is an inactive volcano, 120 metres (390 ft) ASL, located at 11°09′N 120°57′E / 11.150°N 120.950°E / 11.150; 120.950, in the province of Palawan in the Philippines.

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) lists Agutaya as inactive.[10]
