Bongsanglay Natural Park, Nature park on Ticao Island, Philippines
The Bongsanglay Natural Park contains 244 hectares of mangrove forests and swamps along Biton Bay near the southern tip of Ticao Island.
President Ferdinand Marcos established the area as a Mangrove Swamp Forest Reserve in 1981, later reclassified as a natural park in 2000 under President Estrada.
A small fishing community near the mangroves maintains traditional practices while a 1,000-meter canopy walk enables research and educational activities.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources manages the park, which visitors can access through the municipality of Batuan in Masbate province.
The park preserves the only primary growth mangrove forest in the Bicol Region, featuring 36 mangrove species and providing habitat for 68 bird species.
