Located around 5 km (3.1 mi) northwest from the coast of Bohol, Pangapasan is one of the chain of islands found in the only double barrier reef in the Philippines, the Danajon Bank. This natural ecosystem is rich in marine biodiversity. Most of the resident's livelihood depends on fishing and they sell seafood to nearby markets in Bohol and Metro Cebu.
