Lanao del Norte, Philippines

Philippines

Lanao del Norte, Philippines holds 42 connections with 400 other places across 11 topics, centered on governance, natural geography, and language. The province borders Iligan Bay to the north and Lanao del Sur to the southeast, placing it at Mindanao's crossroads of terrain and ethnic communities. In 2018, the Bangsamoro Organic Law established a new autonomous region; the following year's plebiscite saw the province vote strongly against municipal inclusion, keeping its municipalities out of the Bangsamoro region. The Iranun language, spoken here and across the Malaysian state of Sabah, anchors its language cluster.
