- no, part of bongao is cleaved off as a separate island from the big Tawi-Tawi "mainland"
Bongao
Bongao is the capital of the province of Tawi-Tawi which is the most south you can get in the Philippines. Any further down and you are in Sabah, Malaysia already. For most Filipinos, the southernmost city one has visited probably is Zamboanga. Well, Zamboanga is only the takeoff point for Bongao which is an hour away by plane or about 26 hours by ferry via Jolo.
