Philippines: Romblon Provincial Profile
Located almost at the center of the Philippine archipelago, the province of Romblon lies in the Sibuyan Sea. It is composed of three islands: Romblon (main island), Tablas
Island, and Sibuyan Island. It has a total land area of 135,690 hectares. It is bounded on the north by the province of Marinduque, on the south by Panay Island, on the east by
Masbate, and on the west by Mindoro. From Manila, it is about 187 nautical miles or 169 air miles. Largely mountainous and rugged in terrain, the islands of Romblon are
volcanic in origin. The highest peak is 2,057 meters above sea level. Recognized as Marble Country of the
Philippines, Romblon is famed for its rich marble deposits. Marble, however, is not the province’s only treasure.
Existing in relative isolation from the rest of Luzon, Romblon retains much of its Spanish legacy and its natural 0 17 219
attractions are largely unexplored. (Source: http://www.tourism.gov.ph/sitepages/InteractiveSitesPage.aspx- CITY MUNICIPALITIES BARANGAYS
