| General Note |
- General note - Close-up photo of the highest peak in Pan de Azucar, viewed from Banban bay. On cloudy days, the 1,881-foot mountain seems to be sprinkled with minute white specks which look like grains of sugar from a distance. Hence its name. The island is inhabited and its few residents engage in fishing and collecting seaweeds. Pan de Azucar is one among a cluster of 17 tiny islands belonging to the municipality of Concepcion, a fishing town at the northern coast of Iloilo. Concepcion, during the latter half of the 19th century, formed a district of the province with the smaller towns and villages of Ajuy, Estancia, Bagacay, Bacahoan, Pili, Colasi and the small islands off-shore as its constituents; added later were Gayo, Binoloangan, Badiang and the islands from Bolocaue to Canas which belonged then to Capiz but now to the municipality of Carles (Iloilo). The district was created in 1857.
