Panguan Islet, Beach in Sitangkai, Philippines
The remote beach stretches along the western edge of Panguan Island, marking the last Philippine territory before Malaysian waters.
Military forces established control over Panguan Island in April 2017, installing a flagpole and barracks after removing militant groups from the area.
The Badjao people who live on Panguan Island maintain traditional fishing practices and conduct regular trade missions to Malaysian coastal communities.
Visitors to Panguan Island face limited access to basic necessities, including fresh water, food supplies, and medical facilities.
The southernmost flagpole of the Philippines stands on Panguan Island, symbolizing national sovereignty at this remote maritime border location.
