If you are asking for the 3 largest group of islands, then Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao are the answers. This is also called the 3 geographic areas.
But, if you are looking for the 3 largest islands in terms of size it would be
Luzon 104,700 sq km (40,400 sq mi),
Mindanao, 94,630 sq km (36,540 sq mi), and
Negros, 13,074 sq km (5,048 sq mi).
Additional info: Luzon is the 15th largest island in the world, Mindanao is 19th, and Negros is 62nd.
