Camiguin

      mountainous island in the Bohol (Mindanao) Sea, 6 miles (10 km) off the northern coast of Mindanao, Philippines. Located near Macajalar and Gingoog bays, the island is often considered the most beautiful of the Philippine archipelago. Since 1948, eruptions of volcanic Mount Hibok-Hibok (4,363 feet [1,330 m]) have caused mass emigrations to the nearby mainland. The main agricultural products are rice, bananas, and corn (maize). Mambajao, the chief port, is on the northeastern coast. Catarman and Mahinog are smaller population centres. Area 89 square miles (230 square km). Pop. (2000) 74,232.
