Antonia Island, locally known as Cabugao Gamay [lit. 'Little Cabugao'] because of the bigger island north of it named Cabugao that locals refer to as Cabugao Daku [lit. 'Big Cabugao'], is a small, uninhabited island in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It is one of fourteen islands politically administered by the municipality of Carles. Along with Bantigui Island and Cabugao Island, it is one of three minor southern islets in the Islas de Gigantes archipelago.
The island is a well-known location in the archipelago, referred to as "selfie island" because of its viewpoint overlooking the island's center beaches and the hill with vegetation at its southern end.[2]
