Kabalawan Island
I saw Kabalawan Island while walking at San Juanico Bridge and crossing San Juanico Strait at around 5:30pm on July 17, 2013. This was during my first time in Letye and Samar, the 21st and 22nd provinces on my list.

I am not sure if this island is private and if people are permitted to go here.
