Isabela, Provincial capital in Basilan, Philippines
The city extends across 223 square kilometers of coastal terrain, incorporating 45 barangays and Malamawi Island within its administrative boundaries.
Established in 1848, Isabela developed from a Spanish fortification named Fuerte de la Reina Isabel Segunda into a regional administrative center.
The city maintains distinct governance from surrounding areas, operating under Zamboanga Peninsula administration rather than joining the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.
Regular ferry services connect Isabela to Zamboanga City, while local transportation includes buses and motorized tricycles for internal movement.
Despite being part of Basilan province, Isabela functions independently with separate regional affiliations, creating a distinct administrative structure in the Philippines.
