In 1956, a Filipino national, Thomas Cloma, claimed to have discovered 33 islands in the region and named them the Kalayaan (Freedom) Islands. Arguing that the territory was unoccupied until 1956, in 1971 the Philippines formally claimed over 60 islands and reef in the Kalayaan chain. These islands have been grouped together as an administrative district of Palawan Province. en municipality p/Palawan c/Philippines. meronyms MIMAROPA Palawan Kalayaan MIMAROPA Palawan en municipality p/Laguna c/Philippines. meronyms IV-A Laguna Kalayaan IV-A Laguna en barangay municipality/Angono p/Rizal c/Philippines. meronyms IV-A Rizal Angono Kalayaan IV-A Rizal Angono References
