Isabela City
Isabela City is the capital of the
province of
Basilan, in the
Philippines. While administratively, the island province of Basilan is part of the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), Isabela City itself is in not part of this region and is placed under the
Zamboanga Peninsula region. The city is located on the northern shore of Basilan. Across the Basilan Strait to the north is
Zamboanga City.
Isabela City, like the rest of the province, has seen some of the fiercest fightings between government troops and the Abu Sayyaf, an Islamic separatist group.
