Arnak (January 2013, in the Philippines Compendium): 10 10.59'N 124 05.07'E, sand patch in 3.8 m. Nice small island, heavily populated like all the islands in the area; very friendly locals. Wikipedia: Pandanon is 9 km north-west of Getafe port and 13 km south-east of Cordova, Cebu; 2,306 people (2024 census) on 0.07 sq km, with beach resorts and island-hopping tours. Satellite imagery is essential on the Danajon Bank: Webb warns the water is silty and navigation by eye is often impossible.
