Masbate Treasure Places

                                                     White Beach Found in Masbate
                                                             Bituon Beach resort

                    Many of us did not know about Masbate, unlike of some place like Palawan, Boracay, Cebu, Davao etc.etc.Masbate have lots of tourist spot also.

                    My intentions being in Masbate is dried fish good for extra small business only.Every Saturday Masbate City celebrates a market day where many dried foods on sale along the city near masbate market. Many of the vendors are from other places near in Masbate Island .

Dried Fish from Masbate City

               Lots of dried foods all dried fish like from small, medium and large are equal amount the price is only 650 per kilo for squid, you can lower the price to 630.00 pesos per kilo as long you get maximum 5 KILOS.

 Another dried fish I brought in Masbate we called it (Danggit) it’s a delicious dried fish, if u cook this u should boiled the oil, but much better if u used butter the smell will less in and don't over cook wait until little brown. And cut some tomatoes for dressing, taste so yummy.

Longest Wood Bridge Found in Masbate City

              

This bamboo bridge is connecting through the other barangay, I wanted to explore but..little worried because a have a trolley to push and carry..funny so I decided not to cross to other barangay, but some people say at the other side of that bamboo bridge, their is a little beaches also which is I wanted but my time is limited also.

2nd Places Visited After walked around masbate City.

Tricycle Mang Peter help my lagguage goin to Bamboo Wood bridge.

              Masbate city is small city only, so you can take ride and pay minimum fare at your any destination, unless you want to visit some far in the city like Mobo Beach, but better try also, you never regrets, because of the white sand beach mobo have.

                 When you arrived at the airport, don't worry the transportation, no need to get a taxi, all you have to do is take a ride of tricycle. Minimum fare is 7:50 only. Don't act like it’s your first time if u wants to ask or some help, better ask guard at the airport they are helpful. But better get ride only if you want to explore the city with small cost, or budget travel type.You can ask the Tricycle driver if they can help you travel along city in negotiable price.  I payed only (300.00 pesos) for Bituon and wood bridge only.

                          Fresh and Clean breeze air from the ocean, white sand and comportable stay could Bituon beach resort can offer. Those love beach and nature, this beach would be on your list when you plan going to Masbate City. 1 Hour travel from masbate city but place is good enough for the long hour.

Sand found in Bituon beach resort, is same sand found in Boracay Island also, the deferences on it, here if sun is high you feel the heat of the sand, unlike in boracic it is cool and warm. The sand here is fine white sand also.

Kagay Water rafting adventure

Advices:

If you take a water rafting I suggest Advance course not a Beginners.. Its a little same.Beginner take a long trip of paddles, unlike the Advance more rapids and enjoyable. Its not much longer paddles.

What Rafting Agency you take: I suggest Take Kagay rafting.

Take a jeep or pedicab along the areas only.

Visit the restaurant and taste the specialties of what Kagayanon love it.

Last but not least..ENJOY your TRIP.. don't make other people ruin it.
