MASBATE

Masbate Province is situated in the central part of the Philippine archipelago, positioned between the Bicol and Central Visayas Regions. The region's clear waters and underwater attractions remained relatively undiscovered by tourists until recently. Its extensive rolling hills and fertile soil render Masbate an ideal location for cattle production. It has earned the title "Cattle Capital of the Philippines" and hosts the exclusive rodeo event in the entire Asian continent, consequently being dubbed the "Rodeo Capital of the Philippines." Moreover, Masbate is acknowledged as the second-largest meat producer in the country.
