thermopilas Says: Ice candies can be found all over the country not just Romblon. I think. Flavors include coconut, mango, cantaloupe, etc. Condensed milk is mix with the diced, chop, or scraped fruit. It's siphoned on a cellophane. Then put in the freezer. Think of it as the Filipino version...
thermopilas Says: Lambiyong are small fish, can be eaten either boiled with I think some vinegar. But I like them fried. With rice, of course. :).
thermopilas Says: One of my favorite food which is I think only can be found in Romblon because I've ask Filipinos from other provinces and they have never heard of this dish.. Sarsa is made from coconut with chilis and very tiny shrimps caught in the river/streams. It is wrap in a coconut...
thermopilas Says: Tiamban Beach. Just the best in the island.There's a couple of cottages, 800 pesos per night. There are picnic tables, there's a canteen/restaurant. There are dogs, that barks but don't bite, :). The entrance fee is 30 pesos.For directions: Approach a tricycle, and ask the...
thermopilas Says: This is in the barangay of Lupa. The best way to reach this resort is by motorized bangka. You can get here with a motorcycle, which I never tried. The beach is okay, sand could be finer and also wider and longer, but this place is quiet bec it's far from the town. They have...
Helpfulness
The Best Hotel in the heart of the Island. Beautiful garden on top of the 7story building with modern architectural design not far from the rest of the best ones anywhere in the Globe.
Favorite Dish: Seafood, naturally fresh from the ocean that surrounds the island. Freshness is what matters in most of all tastes.

thermopilas Says: Here's a motorized bangka. Rented this for a few hrs, for 1000 pesos. Was planning on going to neighboring islands of Logbon and Nagoso but the water was choppy, so ended the trip earlier than I wanted to. There was a thypoon, got stranded for 2 extra days in Romblon. No...

thermopilas Says: This is the inside of the ferry. They let you borrow a small pillow and a sheet. There's also a tv inside. There's a store in the boat, and a cafeteria.
thermopilas Says: Ferries are the main type of transportation to go to Romblon, either from Batangas or Manila. This ferry is on the small end, and we were unlucky enough that the weather was bad. A lot of the people were vomiting and some were even praying for their safety. To be honest, I...
thermopilas Says: The best way to around the town of Romblon are by tricycles. But going on foot around the town can be done and probably more enjoyable in meeting people. There are also jeepneys but they are transportations for other farther barangays. Just ask around too what's the best way...
thermopilas Says: Here's a fisherman with his bangka. It's very reliable, but can only fit few people due to it's small size. It does not have a motor, it's all wind power and muscle.
The only ATM in Romblon Island is not accepting Mastercard or Cirrus cards, the Bank is changing only US $ (good rate), a grocery shop nextdoor gives very bad rate for Euro, Palawan Pawnshop at the triangular town plaza beside the dock a slightly better rate.

thermopilas Says: If you ever get to Romblon, Romblon try to visit a marble factory. These is where they cut marble blocks to smaller pieces. From the town, hop into a tricycle to a barangay called Cajimos where they have several marble plants (factories). It's probably about 15 minutes away,...
thermopilas Says: This is where the tribes gather before going around the town. This is at the Romblon Natl. High School, and this is also where the tribes performed in the afternoon. Better get in the grandstand of the high school early for a good seat.
thermopilas Says: Boats go around the Romblon harbor for 7 times (not sure), one boat has the Sto. Nino in it. Forgot the significance of this.
thermopilas Says: If you have to come to Romblon, the best time is the 2nd weekend of January when they have the Ati-Atihan festival. Different barangays of Romblon dress up as aetas. They cover themselves with coal, and dress up as warriors, etc. This festival is a religious festival...
I might not be living in Romblon, but it will always be with me. The food, Tiamban beach, my friends, etc. We can never forget where we came from. I like to come back here in my "hometown" whenever......
