How many islands in the Philippines don't have names and why?

Answer 1

I would bet that most of those apparently un-named islands DO have names, but they are simply not important enough to be named on regular maps that most of us see. I would expect most of them are on naval charts and possibly even large scale maps of the Phillipines.

Answer 2

It is difficult to determine the exact number of unnamed islands in the Philippines as new discoveries are ongoing. Many small, uninhabited islands remain unnamed due to their remote locations and limited human exploration. These islands may not have any significant features or landmarks that warrant naming.
