Masbate is an island province of the Philippines located in the Bicol Region. Its capital is Masbate City. It is a flourishing province consisting of three major islands, Masbate, Ticao and Burias that are sprawled with verdant rolling hills and green landscapes, bounded with clean and fine beaches, and sea waters abound with exotic fishes, corals and many other marine life.
