Kalayaan municipality, which includes the Pagasa (Thitu) island, is 280 nautical miles north-west of Puerto Princesa and 932 kilometres (579mi) south-west of Metro Manila. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 222 people consisting of a single barangay located on Pag-asa Island, which also serves as the seat of the municipal government. It is the smallest municipality in the Philippines. Kalayaan's annual budget is 47 million pesos (about $1.1 million).
Pag-asa Island has a dilapidated airstrip, a 5-bed lying-in clinic, and a small elementary school.
Once a strictly a military installation, Pag-asa was opened to civilian settlement in 2002.
History
There are records of the island having been inhabited, at various times in history, by the Chinese and by people from the Champa Kingdom of Vietnam, and during the second world war, French Indochina and Imperial Japanese troops. However, there were no large settlements on these islands till 1956, when Filipino lawyer / businessman / adventurer / fishing magnate Tomas Cloma decided to "claim" a part of Spratly islands as his own, naming it the "Free Territory of Freedomland".
We now go to the town of Kalayaan, in the disputed Pag-asa Island.
What does “freedom" mean for the people who live there?
