OpenStreetMap: Salvacion Public Market (operator: Municipal Government of Busuanga) on Pulang Lupa Street; Gabarda Store (convenience) on Visayas Street (12.13408N 119.93205E) and Monte Carlo Store at Bogtong (12.12836N 119.93826E). OSM records Salvacion's old name as Busuanga, population 3,422 (2020). Wikipedia: the municipal seat was transferred to Salvacion in 1974; pump boats from the poblacion reach the offshore islands. Use the Salvacion Anchorage in Gutob Bay (see that entry) and land the dinghy at the village. Expect basics only (rice, eggs, canned goods, vegetables, fish in the morning); for meat, dairy and cash do it in Coron. No ATM is documented here.
