Kalayaan, Administrative division in Palawan, Philippines.

The Municipality of Kalayaan covers multiple islands and reefs in the South China Sea, with Thitu Island serving as its administrative center.

Presidential Decree No. 1596 in 1978 established Kalayaan as a separate municipal entity within Palawan Province, strengthening Philippine presence in the region.

The municipality maintains local governance through barangay councils where residents participate in community decisions affecting resource distribution and development planning.

The area features essential facilities including an airstrip, naval port, medical clinic, police station, and educational centers supported by a 47-million-peso annual budget.

With only 193 residents according to the 2020 census, Kalayaan holds the distinction of being the least populated town in the Philippines.
