Philippines' Island Of Surprises (Masbate)

THIS, FOR ME, WAS THE PHILIPPINES' ISLAND OF SURPRISES.
Masbate - it's not so well documented. Known for its cattle ranches (it's the second largest producer of beef in the country), it also holds so many surprises - like beautiful beaches, coastline, mountains, and Bronze Age history!
My journey from one end of the island to the other was full of magical experiences - from Fazenda da Esperanza ranch, that helps rehabilitate former drug and alcohol addicts, in Milagros, to the majestic Matayum Lagoon in Cataingan.
What a fantastic island!

    The positive side of Masbate is that tourism hasn't too much developed. It's real nature with very few foreigners. I came for the first time in 1991 to Masbate. My wife is from Masbate and now after 25 years living far away from Masbate we came back in 2016 for retirement. I love the nature and relaxed lifestyle of the people....but sometimes they are too relaxed. I think that in the future Masbate can offer more nature than other tourist cities which are overcrowded by tourists and pollution. The local government is doing right not pushing too hard the development of tourism.

    I'm one mind with you with fear of the Philippines transforming into western and other Asian minded people. I want to retain our innocence and be left in peace. I don't want secularism, too much modernism that take away should and replaced with egotistic humanv self proclaimed correctness.

    It is because of geopolitics there that is why it is still a third class province. there was a time that the province was considered an election hotspot because of various killings of opposing political factions. nothing much have change it is sad that the politicians there control everything even its progress. Masbate has a lot to offer in tourism.

    The main problem of that island is the NPA terrorist infestation. They may have been wiped out for now by the military and NTF-ELCAC and became inactive. But surviving members became motorcycle-riding hold-up men preying for lone motorists along the highways. That island has a moniker of being the Wild West of the Philippines, lose firearms are everywhere.

    Hello KD and Masbate!!! I am tuning in to see how Masbate fair against other provinces. One comment said that is more beautiful than Siargao, because it is frequently visited by foreigners and locals alike. I am watching this video of KD because I was impressed by his videos of Benguet Kalinga etc. I wanted to see what Masbate is like in comparison!!thank you KD for taking us along, safe travels.

    You, Kulas and other travel vloggers are lucky. As late as 10 yrs ago, you couldn't do that, travel to the far reaches of the countryside because of peace and order. Back in 1985, right after HS, I got the travel bug. But I couldn't, lest I like to be a statistics. Back in 1992, I took a bus ride in Jose Abad Santos going to the end of its line. Norzagaray. Upon arrival, I was noticed by the store owner where I inquired something. He told me i must go home at 4pm as I wouldn't want to be in any trouble later on with Taong Labas (people from the outside). Good thing it's different now. A lot more free going for all of us.
