Sorsogon, Province in Bicol Region, Philippines.

Sorsogon extends across 2,119 square kilometers at the southeastern tip of Luzon island, featuring mountains, beaches, and numerous coastal settlements surrounded by water.

The province gained independence from Albay on October 17, 1894, when the town of Sorsogon was designated as the provincial capital.

The province celebrates the Kasanggayahan Festival in October and the Pili Festival in June, highlighting local traditions and agricultural products.

Travelers can reach Sorsogon through Legazpi Airport or by bus services from Manila, with the dry season from March to May offering optimal conditions.

Between December and May, visitors in Donsol can participate in supervised swimming activities with whale sharks in their natural habitat.
