Philippines: Sorsogon Provincial Profile
Sorsogon is situated at the southernmost tip of Luzon. As a part of the gateway to the Visayas and Mindanao, the province is a melting pot of
cultures and influences. From its earliest days as a trading post frequented by Chinese and Malay merchants, Sorsogon has evolved into a center
of trade and commerce in the Bicol Region. Forming a triangle shape, it is bounded on the north by the province of Albay and Albay Gulf, on the
south by Samar and San Bernardino strait; on the east by the Pacific Ocean, and on the west by
Burias Island and Ticao Pass. (Source: http://www.tourism.gov.ph/sitepages/Interac- 1 14 541
