A peek on the beauty of the Turtle Island in the Philippines. Its not yet open to the public. But just to show you that such an island exists in this part of the world. 10,000 nesters per year! 50-150 nesters per night! Truly an environmental treasure!!

  • From the conservation of these turtles point of view, the reason there are still many turtles nesting on that island is because it is far away from the main islands and no many ppl know about it. let's keep it that way - when ppl start to go to this island, the turlte eggs will be poached, turtles get killed and what not.. leave them in peace..

  • @krabi0569

    well Sabbah is realy part of SULU PHILIPPINES, Malaysia goverment renting it to the sultan of SULU. you can do some reasearch in google and you will know the truth. So in short Sabbah is part of the PHILIPPINES and not malaysia.

  • BAGUAN Turtle Island is the Turtle Sanctuary protected by the Task Force Pawikan... this Island is Part of Tawi-Tawi and can be seen from Taganak Island..so far as I know this Island before belong to Julian Lao...but seems it is under the hands of the Government due Turtle Preservation......I have been there once when I went Trawling ... really cystal clear water I enjoy swimming for that day and observe under water creature.the oysters, fishes, corals etc.....

  • i think the whole municipality of turtle islands in the province of tawi-tawi is one of the protected areas in the Philippines. you can view them from malaysia.

  • ganda ng island--at parang sariwa pah--ehehe

  • @marsdrifter

    if you want to visit the turtle island in the Philippines you have to get a permit from the Goverment because it's protected area. and as far as i know no tourist are allowed to go their unless for some studies.

  • Baguan island is part of Tawi-Tawi but too far from mainland Mindanao. It's nearer to Sabah, only a 40-minute speedboat ride.
