Apayao, Province in Northern Luzon, Philippines.
The province spans 4,502 square kilometers of mountainous terrain divided by rivers, with dense forests covering significant portions of the northern Cordillera region.
The area transformed from a sub-province of Cagayan in 1907 to an independent province in 1995 when it separated from the former Kalinga-Apayao territory.
The Isneg people maintain traditional celebrations called sayam, where men participate in contests around ritual stones while women communicate with spirits.
The province consists of seven municipalities with 133 barangays, and the provincial administrative center operates from the New Government Center in Luna.
The territory contains 286,000 hectares of virgin forests that shelter the Philippine eagle and multiple endemic plant species used for traditional medicine.
