A headland is a point of land extending into the sea. The Philippines, being an archipelagic country of 7,107 islands, is surrounded by several bodies of water and has many headlands. Headlands around the Philippine coast are most commonly named as 'point' (punta), 'cape' (cabo) or sometimes 'head'.
