Panay is an island located in the Philippines particularly in the Visayas. The island is divided into four provinces namely Aklan, Antique, Capiz, and Iloilo, all in the Western Visayas Region. It is surrounded by the Sibuyan, Visayan, and Sulu seas; the Guimaras Strait to the southeast separates it from Negros. Panay is roughly triangular in shape. A rugged, almost unpopulated mountain range parallels its western coast.
