Catanduanes, Island province in Bicol Region, Philippines.
Catanduanes spans across 1,492 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, featuring numerous beaches along its coastline and dense tropical forests in its interior regions.
The province gained its autonomy from Ambos Camarines through Commonwealth Act No. 687 on September 26, 1945, establishing Virac as its administrative center.
The Biniray Festival fills the streets of Virac with traditional music performances, regional dance exhibitions, and local food preparations each January.
Regular flights connect Manila to Virac Airport, while ferry services from Tabaco City provide alternative transportation options for reaching the island province.
Catanduanes maintains its position as the global leader in abaca fiber production, with local farmers cultivating this natural fiber throughout the mountainous landscape.
