The province of Masbate ideally sits on the crossroads of Luzon and Visayas thereby offering the best of both worlds while maintaining its own identity. Touted as the “Rodeo Capital of the Country”, Masbate’s rolling hills has a become a perfect pasture land for livestock, an image eerily similar to the American Midwest.
Beef from Masbate is said to be the tastiest in the country as cattle in the province is fed only with grass. Hence, its sun-dried tapas are well known for its excellent taste.
Masbate is also renowned for its sweet treats known as Carmelado— traditionally made of sugar and carabao’s milk—thereby giving these milk candies a richer flavor.
Masbate City is the gateway of the province , with flights and boat trips from Manila, Cebu and Roxas City. From mainland Bicol, it can be reached by fast craft or Ro-Ro from the Port of Pilar in Sorsogon, Burias Group of Islands can be reached from Pasacao, Camarines Sur, while Ticao Island can be reached via Monreal or San Jacinto Port from Pilar and Bulan in Sorsogon.
