[edit] List of Landlocked provinces in the Philippines
A landlocked province is one that has no coastline, meaning no access to sea or ocean. There are 16 landlocked provinces in the Philippines:
- All provinces of Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR): Apayao, Abra, Kalinga, Mt. Province, Ifugao and Benguet
- Two provinces of Cagayan Valley (Region II): Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino
- Two provinces of Central Luzon (Region III): Nueva Ecija and Tarlac
- Four provinces of Mindanao:
- Bukidnon of Northern Mindanao (Region X)
- Cotabato Province of SOCCSKSARGEN (Region XII)
- Agusan del Sur of Caraga (Region XIII), and
- Maguindanao of Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
Similarly, Laguna and Rizal Province of CALABARZON (Region IV-A) have coastlines on Laguna de Bay. Since lakes do not allow access to seaborne trade, these provinces are still considered to be landlocked.
[edit] List of island provinces in the Philippines
An island province completely surrounded by water, is the opposite of a landlocked one. There are 15 island provinces in the Philippines:
- One province of Cagayan Valley (Region II): Batanes
- Two provinces of MIMAROPA (Region IV-B): Marinduque and Romblon
- Two provinces of Bicol (Region V): Catanduanes and Masbate
- Two provinces of Western Visayas (Region VI): Palawan and Guimaras
- Three provinces of Central Visayas (Region VII): Cebu, Bohol and Siquijor
- One province of Eastern Visayas (Region VII): Biliran
- One province of Northern Mindanao (Region X): Camiguin
- Three provinces of Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM): Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi
Dinagat Islands of Caraga Region shares a border with Surigao City, the capital of Surigao del Norte.
[edit] Subnational enclaves and exclaves
In political geography, an enclave is a territory or part of a territory (usually a country) lying wholly within the boundaries of another, and an exclave is one which is politically attached to a larger piece but not actually contiguous with it. Many entities are both enclaves and exclaves, but the two are not synonymous.
[edit] There are no subnational enclaves in the Philippines

A quadripoint is a point on the Earth that touches four distinct regions. Such points are often called "four corners", from the corners of the four regions meeting there.
