Sulu, Province in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, Philippines.

The Sulu Province encompasses 19 municipalities across an archipelago, with Jolo serving as its administrative capital in the southwestern Philippines.

Established on March 10, 1917, Sulu Province emerged from the former territories of the Sulu Sultanate, which controlled maritime trade routes since 1450.

The Tausug people form the main ethnic group in Sulu Province, maintaining their traditional practices while speaking Tausug language alongside Filipino and English.

The provincial territory spans 1,600 square kilometers across multiple islands, connecting to major ports through regular maritime transportation services.

The provincial economy centers on pearl farming operations, with local divers collecting rare South Sea pearls in the waters around the archipelago.
