About Masbate

Masbate is cattle country, and every year Masbate City holds a rodeo, which is not a sentence that gets written often about a Philippine province. Three islands make it up: Masbate, Ticao and Burias. On paper it belongs to Luzon and to Bicol, but sitting at the middle of the archipelago it sounds more Visayan than either.
