It is a barangay of the municipality of Baclayon. According to the , it has a population of ,〔 comprising about 240 families whose main livelihoods now concentrate on dolphin- and whale-watching tours and subsistence fishing, but in the past also included whale, dolphin and manta ray hunting. Pamilacan perhaps means "resting place of the mantas", but it can also be considered to derive from the word ''pamilac'', or harpoon, a device that was historically used to capture the mantas, dolphins and whales. To the northeast of the island is a 200yearold Spanish fort, which in the past served as a watchtower for the Spaniards to look out for intruders, such as pirates and other enemies, particularly those coming from the south.〔 Aside from being famous for the whaleshark and dolphin-watching activities, the island is also known for its white sand beaches and renowned for its dive sites, such as Dakit-Dakit. ' or ' is a sunken plateau about deep, on the south of Pamilacan. It is covered with coral but lies in the middle of the ocean, which is why there usually is a very strong current. Here one can see black-white banded sea snakes, moray eels, nudibranchs and bucket sponges. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pamilacan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
