Described by geologists as a province sitting on a “pot of gold”, Masbate is not only rich in natural resources but in history and culture as well. Consisting the province’s political territory are 20 towns and a city.
Comprised of 3 major islands, the seat of the provincial government in this still undiscovered tourism haven is the Masbate Provincial Capitol Building. Built in 1950 (MCML), the century-old edifice has been a standing witness of how this province and its people struggled and survived over economic downturns, political crisis and various calamities.
The provincial capitol building is located near Barangay Ibinggay in Masbate City, the province’s capital. Some notable landmarks nearby are the Masbate Cultural Center and the Masbate Plaza. The Rodeo Arena (Masbate Centennial Sports Complex), the center of Rodeo Masbateño Festival is also a few blocks away.
