Dubbed as the marble capital of the Philippines, Romblon has several natural wonders to explore, more than its lucrative industry. It is a part of the MIMAROPA Region. The province is composed of 3 main (Romblon, Sibuyan, and Tablas) and other minor islands. Pristine islands surrounded by turquoise sea; sandbars; rock formations; waterfalls; and other exciting activities will surely be gasped any wanderer in awe.
It was Dave, one of my travel buddies who hosted the trip. He invited us to his hometown in San Andres. A three letter word YES! lead to 6 days of fun and memorable travel experience. The first and last day of the trip was allotted for traveling to and from Odiongan Port. We booked our tickets for 2go travel through their website.
