The Quiniluban Group is a group of islands in Palawan Province of the Philippines situated between the islands of Palawan and Panay in the Sulu Sea. The group is the northernmost in the Cuyo Archipelago, consisting of several islands and rocks. The easternmost of which is a circular group of islands surrounded by reef about in diameter. The largest of the circular group is Quiniluban Island. The island group also includes the upscale resort island of Pamican located about southwest of the circular group,[1] and Manamoc Island located further southwest of Pamilacan.[2]
