Surrounded by the Burias and Ticao Pass on the North, the San Bernardino Strait on the East, the Visayan Seas on the South, and the Sibuyan Sea on the West, Masbate is blessed with bountiful marine resources, as well as stretches of beaches and coral reefs. Composed of one city (Masbate City) nad 20 municipalities, the province's hilly landscape is also perfect pasture land for cattle and other livestock.
