Binuluangan (historically Balin) is an inhabited island-barangay in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It is one of fourteen islands politically administered by the municipality of Carles. In 2010 it had a population of 1,682.[2] There is an elementary school on the island.
Binuluangan is a wooded island northeast of the Panay Island coast in the Visayan Sea. It is west of Calagnaan Island and separated from that island by the Nilidlaran Pass. Binuluangan is surrounded by several small islands and islets, including Tabugon and Tabugon Chico to the north, Himamylan and Adcalayo to the south, and Nilidlaran (variously Linadlaran) to the southeast.
Binuluangan was one of several islands to receive aid from in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.[3]
