| "The
islands of the province of Romblon were known to the Spaniards from the
early years. Laorca, who visited the Philippines about 1582, wrote of
the Islands of Simara, Banton, Romblon (then called Donblon) and Tablas
( then known as Osigan.) He estimated that the population of Simara was
150, that of Banton, 200; of Romblon 250; and of Tablas, 250. The islands
in the Romblon groups were then included within the jurisdiction of the
town of Arevalo. (Panay)." Source: Census of the Philippine Islands taken under the direction of the Philippine Legislature in the year 1918 |

Waterfalls
and Rivers Romblon is not only abundant in clear seas and white sandy beaches, some islands are also known for its clean and cool freshwater bounties, like this one at Cantingas River. Waters roar down from the mountain of Guiting-Guiting to rocks down below, creating natural pools and jacuzzis. No visitor in this part of SIbuyan Island should miss this treat. |
