 This historical marker indicates the first Bantoanon settlement around 1810 in the pueblo of Odiongan. |

 An outrigger boat on river bank near "cota" where the historical marker is. |

 Another baroto "parked" at the Odiongan River. |

 Odiongan's Rizal Monument, located across the town hall. |

 While I was there, I had the good fortune of witnessing the Sibuyan Ecotourism Exhibit at the Romblon State College. The exhibit presented some artifacts and local crafts from the island. |
|
 There was also a photo exhibit of the flora and fauna of Sibuyan, most especially from Mt. Guiting-Guiting, an area known for their rich and varied species of birds, bats and other animals and plants. |
|
 College President Idelia Formilleza (in black dress) enjoyed the exhibit with students, faculty and guests. |
|
 I took the time to visit the Romblon State College and was impressed with the main library except for two things: there are no known works of NVM Gonzales, Butch Dalisay, Manny Martinez, Cornelio Faigao, Prof. Gabriel, Fabella and other Romblon writers. I also felt sad noting that not even a single computer dwells, a pretty much common fixture in our US libraries. |
|
 Another view of the library. |

 RDL-CLEAR donors would probably be happy to know that our donated computers like this one at the mini library of the Institute of Business and Accountancy are well used. |
