Tawi-Tawi
Tawi-Tawi (Chavacano: ''Provincia de Tawi-Tawi''; Tagalog: ''Lalawigan ng Tawi-Tawi'') is an island province of the Philippines located in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The capitals of Tawi-Tawi are Bongao and Panglima Sugala. It is the southernmost province of the country, sharing sea borders with the Malaysian state of Sabah and the Indonesian North Kalimantan province, both on the island of Borneo to the west. To the northeast lies the province of Sulu. Tawi-Tawi also covers some islands in the Sulu Sea to the northwest, the Cagayan de Tawi-Tawi Island and the Turtle Islands, just away from Sabah.
== Etymology ==
The name of Tawi-Tawi is a projection of the Malay word "''jauh''" meaning "far." Prehistoric travelers from the Asian mainland would repeat the word as "''jaui-jaui''" to mean "far away" because of the distance of the islands from the mainland. The word "Tawi-Tawi" was picked up to later become the official name of the province.
