The Philippine largest island Luzon





The Philippine largest island Luzon contains 8 of the 17 administrative regions of the Philippines. Luzon is the economic and political center of the Philippines, being home to the country's capital city, Manila. It is one of most populated islands in the world, only behind Java, Honshu, and Great Britain. It has a similar population size to Sumatra but much smaller area.
