Is it Coron or Coron Island?

Kayaking at Twin Lagoons

I was confused about this when researching about the place and made sure I got the information straight from our tour guide. :)

Coron is a 2nd class municipality that covers part of Busuanga Island, Coron Island and some other smaller islands in the vicinity (Calamianes group of islands). The pier where the boats dock (SuperFerry and Negros Navigation) is in Coron town that's in Busuanga Island, not Coron Island.

It should be: Home » Asia » Philippines » Province of Palawan » Coron » Coron Island :)

Coron Island is where the Kayangan Lake is located. The island is the ancestral domain of the Tagbanuas.
