Romblon, Administrative province in Mimaropa region, Philippines
Romblon is a province made up of several islands in the Sibuyan Sea, with Tablas, Sibuyan, and Romblon as its main landmasses. The territory spreads across different islands with varied landscapes, from flat coastal areas to hilly terrain in the interior.
Spanish colonizers arrived in Romblon in 1569 and established control by constructing fortifications including Fort San Andres. The remains of this fortress are still visible today, marking the period of Spanish administrative presence in the region.
The people here speak three different languages and follow distinct traditions that shape daily life across the islands. Walking through villages, you notice these cultural differences reflected in local celebrations and the way families gather and work together.
Ferries run regularly from Romblon port, connecting the different islands and making travel between them straightforward. For getting around locally, renting a motorbike is the most practical way to explore and reach different parts of each island.
The province has extensive marble quarries that produce high-quality stone, which shapes much of the local economy. This marble extraction is a dominant activity visible across the islands and leaves a notable mark on the landscape.
