Palanan, officially the Municipality of Palanan, is a 1st class municipality in the province of IsabelaPhilippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 17,260 people.[3]

The town is one of the remote and isolated community of Isabela separated from the rest of the province by the Sierra Madre Mountains. It is also a suburb of Ilagan, the provincial capital. No roads connect the municipality to the rest of Isabela. It can only be reached by a plane or boat ride, or a multi-day hike from San Mariano town, also a suburb of Ilagan.[5]

It was in Palanan that one of the final chapters of the Philippine-American War was written on March 23, 1901, when Emilio Aguinaldo was captured by American forces led by Gen. Frederick Funston, who had gained access to Aguinaldo's camp by pretending to surrender to the Filipinos.
