An island in the Zamboanga Peninsula region is slowly shedding its image as a pirates’ lair to become the next major tourism destination in Mindanao. Olutanga Island is partnering with the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDa) to develop its vast tourism and agro-fishery potential. The island, located at the southernmost tip of Zamboanga Sibugay province, is composed of Olutanga, Mabuhay and Talusan municipalities.
