Pan de Azucar Island (Iloilo)
Pan de Azucar (variously Tampisaw Island or Tambaliza (is also the name of one of the barangays on the island )) is a populated island in the Visayan Sea in the Philippines. The island is known for Mount ''Pan de Azucar'' (Mount Sugarloaf) a steep volcanic cone and a prominent landmark at the northern entrance of Guimaras Strait.〔
Pan de Azucar is under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Concepcion, Iloilo on Panay Island, one of the largest and major islands of the Philippines. Pan de Azucar is the largest of 16 outlying islands of the town and makes up nearly 19 percent of Concepcion's total land area. According to the 2010 census, the island has a population of 2,999.
The island possibly contains valuable mineral deposits and is being studied for mineral extraction, which could possibly destroy the natural beauty of the island and mountain.〔("Pan de Azucar Overview" ). Mindoro Resources Ltd.〕
==Etymology==
Mount Pan de Azucar (Spanish for "Sugarloaf") is one of the mountains and hills worldwide named "Sugarloaf" because of its tall conical shape resembling an old ''sugarloaf'' of the 19th century, not because of its resemblance to Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as falsely reported on some local websites.〔("Pan de Azucar Island" ).
