Siau Tagulandang Biaro Islands

The Siau Tagulandang Biaro Islands span across 275.96 square kilometers in the Celebes Sea, comprising three main islands and numerous smaller landforms at 411 meters elevation.

Established on January 2, 2007, the regency separated from Sangihe Islands through Law Number 15, forming an independent administrative territory with Ondong as its capital.

The population of 72,883 residents maintains strong Christian and Catholic traditions, while smaller Muslim and Buddhist communities contribute to the regional religious diversity.

The territory contains ten administrative districts with 83 rural villages and 10 urban areas, connected through developing infrastructure systems for inter-island transportation.

Local communities sustain themselves through traditional fishing practices and agriculture across the three namesake islands: Siau, Tagulandang, and Biaro.
