Masbate, Island province between Luzon and Visayas, Philippines
Masbate encompasses three major islands - Masbate, Burias, and Ticao - covering 4,159 square kilometers of diverse landscapes with rolling hills and coastal areas.
During the Spanish colonial period, Masbate developed as a significant gold mining center, which shaped the economic foundation of the region.
The annual Rodeo Masbateño festival brings together communities to display traditional cattle handling skills through competitions and demonstrations.
Regular domestic flights connect Masbate to Manila and Cebu, while ferries provide transportation links to neighboring provinces throughout the Philippine archipelago.
The province maintains extensive cattle ranches across its territory, making it a central hub for livestock production in the Philippines.
