I grew up in the province here in a small island called Sibuyan Island. Sibuyan island is isolated from any other island of Romblon province our mainland.

Some of you may disagree but its just my own perception and own feeling about loving the province life. Here are some reasons why I said that its more fun in the province:

1. Seas

Sibuyan island is surrounded with large seas that made our island rich in seashores and beaches. Living in an island that surrounded by seas will make you love the seas for sure. The locals also went to the seashore to caught fishes and seashells that they can sell or to make it as their meal.

2. The Beach

The beach here in our island is clean. We have two kinds of beaches; black sand and white sand. The beach is free to enjoy. You can swim for free, camping, partying or you can do a picnic with your love ones.

3. Rivers

We have so many rivers scattered in our island that the tourist love to go and the locals as well. We have the Agbalit, Dalipi, Cantingas, Pawala, Gaong, Patoo, etc. Our most isolated river our Dalipi and Gaong, the water is so clean that you can drink it straight.

4. Mountains

Mt. Guiting-Guiting is the most know mountain in our island. It is great for hiking and conducting studies and research about ecology, biodiversity and biology. The mountain is rich in flora and fauna that needs to be protected because some of them are endemic and endangered species.

5. Falls

If you are adventurous, you will love the waterfalls for sure. we have the Lambingan Falls, Cataja Falls, Dagubdob etc. In waterfalls, you can dive at your own risks.

6. Culture and Tradition

Sibuyan island is rich in cultures and traditions that the locals are still practicing it until today. We practiced pagmamano to elderly, bayanihan which is helping to others, pamahiin, aswang, engkanto, dwende and many more. The locals also love to share their foods especially when they have special occassions they tend to send foods to their neighbors and friends. Christmas day and New Year is the best tradition that I experienced here in the province compared to the city.

7. Plants and Trees

Having plants and trees are beautiful to see and feel because they gave cooler shade and fresh air to breathe. The greenfields, the gardens, and the forest are the best.

Our island is isolated for many years that why it will take so many years to make it modernized like the other provinces who have so many establishments like mall, amusement parks, etc.

I love my island this way. It may not be modern like the other places but living with nature is the best experienced I love to have for my entire life.
