I bet we all have those moments when you just want to walk out of your office and experience that one great adventure -- away from the hustle and bustle of the city, away from congested beach resorts with just peace and rest in mind.
.. with that, we believe you will find that one great escapade in one of Masbate Province's amazing beach destinations -- Balangingi Island, Pio V. Corpuz.
Balangingi Island, a 4.9-hectare marine sanctuary is considered one of Masbate's virgin islands and is now eyed as an ecotourism zone. With just a 15 minute boat ride from Pio V. Corpuz, you will get to enjoy its crystal clear water, fine white sand, and peaceful, picturesque beauty that offers a breathtaking experience.
Pio V. Corpuz is situated at the southeastern tip of Masbate Island. This place is originally called Limbuhan which is from the word Limbu which means whirlwind.
