Once several years ago, Foreigners or Local
Visitors and Tourists are All Invited to
Relax, Rest and Retire, Frolic and Play with
Nature in this soon to be discovered
Leisure Paradise which YOU may call your
very own Homeland, CARABAO
ISLAND.”

10. Province of ROMBLON and
Her Seven Islands
Tablas Island (9 towns)
Sibuyan Island ( 3 towns)
Romblon Island (1 town – Capital of Province)
Carabao Island (1 town)
Banton Island (1 town)
Simara Island (1 town)
Sibale Island (1 town)
1010
12. BORACAY is only 3 kilometers away from
CARABAO Island. The physical composition of
environment and natural resources on both islands
are practically the same. The only difference
between these two islands, one belongs to Aklan
province while the other is already part of Romblon
and only separated by a narrow channel of 2 miles.
1212
14. Inspired and influenced by the meteoric success of the
tourism industry in Boracay, Investors are safely assured
that any business related to tourism will surely become a
profitable investment venture in Carabao Island specially
so because there is now a very limited area for expansion
of development in Boracay.
1414
15. Hence, this concept of Ecotourism development in
Carabao Island and the other islands in the province of
Romblon. Properly programmed, developed and
managed the venture has no reason to fail but to succeed
and make the islands progressive. These islands are well
placed by Mother Nature at the very heart and center of
the Philippines.
Total Land Area:
2,890 hectares
3 times the size of Boracay
1515
16. Whether you travel by air or by sea you will surely pass
by these islands. History has also its own historical
contribution. The Allied Forces of Gen. Douglas
MacArthur in his triumphant return to liberate the
Philippines was met by the Naval Power of Japan right at
Sibuyan Sea on October 24, 1944. In fact, the world’s
biggest battleship, Musashi, of Japan was sunk in this
place together with some 1023 of her crew. It can never
be denied Carabao Island and her sister islands will
become the next Toursim and Investment Paradise of
the country, because of Boracay and the memory of the
Naval battle of WWII, the Battle of Sibuyan Sea.
1616
18. In the 1960’s Boracay was just a barren and idle small
island of 1000 hectares which served as haven for
fishermen and source of pebbles and rubble stones to
Contractors and Architects. The international trend
of the flourishing tourism industry attracted the fancy of
government specially the former First Lady Imelda
Marcos. Resorts started to rise along the beaches of
La Union, Cavite, Batangas and the interior parts of
Laguna and Quezon.
1818
20. The shores of Manila Bay was even designed to be
covered and converted into white beaches. Local
businessmen planned to transport white sand from
Boracay to Manila but the idea seemed an impossible
dream and fruitless, therefore abandoned. But some
enterprising investors who had business foresights
thought of starting small tourism ventures right in
Boracay. Afterall, Kalibo is an annual tourists
destination during the Ati-atihan Festival every January.
The meteoric transformation of this small island into a
World Class tourists paradise today is now considered
tourism phenomenon.
2020
21. Boracay is part of Aklan province at the northern
tip. And only two (2) miles away from Boracay is
Carabao Island which is 2800 hectares at the
southern end but already part of Romblon
province.
What you can find in Boracay is always present in
Carabao Island. White beaches and enviable clear
blue swimming waters with beautiful and
naturally – arranged varied species of coral
growths and different types of ornamental fishes.
However, the greatest advantage that Carabao
Island has over Boracay is the presence and
abundant supply of spring water coming from its
forested watershed.
2121
22. The State of the Nation Address (SONA) of
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in July 24, 2006
before joint Congress declared the creation of
several Super Regions like the Subic and Clark
areas to bolster the economic development of the
country. It so happened that Romblon is bracketed
with the Visayas and some Southern Tagalog
provinces to compose the Central Super Region
with emphasis on Tourism and Agricultural
development. If we closely examine the Philippine
Map and the recently established Strong Philippine
Nautical Highway everybody will agree that
Romblon is the center of the Philippines and the
Sibuyan Sea is midway of the Nautical Highway.
2222
23. The SONA further declared the approval and
construction of an International Airport in San
Jose, Romblon (Carabao Island) purposely to
cater and service foreign tourists and visitors to
Boracay. The construction of an International
Airport in the province is enough reason why
investors and local businessmen should be
challenged and inspired to unite and
collectively join together in developing and
preserving the abundant natural resources that
abound the seven islands of Romblon and
convert them into income - generating ventures
related to tourism.
2323
24. WHY CATER VISITORS TO BORACAY WHEN
THEY CAN FIND ALL THE AMENITIES AND
NATURE’S BEAUTY THEY ARE LOOKING
FOR, RIGHT AFTER THEY GET OFF THE
PLANE?
The Department of Tourism predicts between 3 –
4 million tourists this year 2007. The proximity of
Romblon to Manila is the great advantage over
other tourist spots why Carabao Island or the
province of Romblon can get a big share of
these tourist arrivals. Promotional
Advertisements are no long necessary.
2424
25. The biggest Billboard Boracay is an existing
testament that a neglected island with rich natural
resources can become a Tourist Cinderella if
properly planned and implemented. This simply
means tourism is a potential Dollar – earning
business for Romblon. On October 24, 2006 was
the commemoration of the 62nd anniversary –
sinking of the world’s biggest battleship,
MUSASHI, right at Sibuyan Sea. Pilgrimage of
Japanse relatives and Asian allies of the more than
1500 Japanese soldiers who perished with Musashi
are expected to come. This will be an annual affair
that will surely encourage the boom of tourism
and investments in
2525
26. the province. It is not a wild dream that Carabao Island and the
other six islands of Romblon can also become a tourism miracle.
WHAT HAPPENED TO BORACAY AND MACTAN CAN VERY LIKELY HAPPEN TO
CARABAO ISLAND AND THE OTHER ISLANDS OF ROMBLON. These islands can
easily become the incoming tourists attractions and leisure paradise of the
country alongside with Bohol and Palawan very soon.
2626
27. To explore, develop and carefully
manage the God-given beautiful
and rich natural resources of
Carabao Island and the other six
islands of Romblon into a World
Class environmentally – balanced
tourism paradise right at the
center of the Philippine
Archipelago.
2727
28. To educate and encourage the people of
Romblon harness and utilize their physical
capabilities, expertise and talents how to
improve their living standards thru livelihood and
job opportunities that are related to the tourism
industry. Through the collective efforts of the
people of Romblon, prove that it is now the right
time to get out and lift up the province from its
dormant status as one of the poorest provinces
in the country.
2828
29. 1. To awaken the people of Romblon
from their deep sleep and let them
realize and discover that there are gold
mines that can be tapped all around the
seven islands of the province be it on
land or in the ocean. To coordinate
with Caraballo Grande by acquiring and
developing a portion of its consolidated
land area into a World Class haven for
foreign tourists, businessmen and
investors who want to spend a peaceful
and enjoyable rendezvous with the
original beauty of nature still
untouched by the abusive hands of
man.
2929
30. 2. To exploit and develop the following natural
resources into profitable business ventures:
a. Develop the marble industry in Romblon
Island. Marble found in Romblon is the best in
the country and the only variety that can
compete with the quality of marble that are
produced in Italy.
3030
31. b. Develop the byproducts that can be processed
from the coconut, the Tree of Life, which are
plentiful and the main agricultural produce in all
the islands. Coco biodiesel and the very popular
Coco Virgin Oil
can be commercially
processed thereby
giving abundant
employment to the
inhabitants and
income to the place.
3131
33. 3. The people of Romblon are NOT LAZY. They
can unite and rally to prove they can make the
province progressive and partly contribute
and improve the economy of the country.
3333
34. REASONS WHY VISITORS AND
INVESTORS SHOULDSELECT
CARABAO ISLANDANDTHEOTHER
SIX ISLANDS OFROMBLON AS
DESTINATION:1. Beaches and shor elines ar e covered wit h
f ine powdery golden whit e sand which ar e
t he main t our ist at t r act ion t o f oreign and

3434
35. 2. Clean, uncontaminated,
undiluted swimming
blue waters. No siltation
occur because of the
continuous changing of
sea currents everyday.
3. Best scuba diving sites and
dive spots are available with
diversified well-arranged
coral reefs and different
species of marine creatures.
3535
36. 4.Virgin For est – Unt ouched by human abusive

river, Cantingas River, in the whole Philippines last
year.
6. Easily Accessible from Manila and very near
Mactan Airport and Cebu
3737
38. 7. Peace and Order is No Problem. Crime Rate is

11. The Sentimental, Cultural and Historical
Ef f ect of t he 63r d Anniver sar y of t he sinking

bat t leship, commemor at ed on Oct ober 24,
2007 at Sibuyan Sea and every year
t her eaf t er .
3939
40. Admittedly, Romblon is one of the smaller
and poorest provinces in the country, yet so
lucky to be located midway of the Philippine
archipelago. Gifted with abundant and
beautiful natural resources both in land and
sea, she is also composed of seven islands
artistically floating over the historical
Sibuyan Sea.
The province of Romblon with its sunny
islands and land locked harbor, has
traditionally sheltered ships from the fury
of storms, is a member of the new economic
bloc known as MIMAROPA (Mindoro
Oriental and Occidental, Marinduque,
Romblon and Palawan), and PGMA’s
declared Super Central Region of the
Country. Romblon’s major industries are
agriculture, fishing, marble processing and
quarrying, furniture making and vine craft.

41. CARABAO I SLAND WI LL BE THE
NEXT BORACAY!
Economicinfrastructure isone ofthe
investmentprioritiesinthe province,specially
inthe mainIslands(Romblon,Tablas and
Sibuyan).The realestate situationinthe
province isonthe upswing considering thatits
southerntipis close to the popular,expensive
butovercrowded island ofBoracay.
InRomblonIsland there are alreadyseveral
beachresortlike TiambanAqua and Marble

howeverare inthe townofSanJose,near
Boracayparticularlyknownas Carabao Island.
The finestbeachesinthe province are to be
found here and there are already somefew
cottagesand lodging houses.
4141
42. Isla de Carabao and the other islands of
Romblon are well placed and arranged by
Mother Nature at the very heart and
center of the Philippines. Whether we
travel by air or sea we will surely pass by
these islands for us to appreciate. Carabao
Island is 2800 hectares and only 3 kms.
away from Boracay. What you can find in
Boracay are always present in Isla de
Carabao. White beaches, enviable clear
blue swimming waters with naturally and
beautifully arranged various types of
coral growths and reefs, home to the
different species of ornamental fishes.
The shorelines is more than twice the
length of white beaches in Boracay
interrupted with mangroves and rocky
cliffs. 4242
43. The newly started Construction of an International
Airport is enough reason why businessmen,
investors, foreign and local tourists should be
challenged and inspired to visit and invest in Carabao
Island and the other wonderful enchanting islands of
Romblon, Tablas, Sibuyan, Banton, Simara and
Sibale, all potential sites for progressive Eco-Tourism
sustainable development.
These islands can easily be developed into world
class tourists attractions and destinations that sooner
be counted among the best pleasure and leisure
paradise along with Bohol, Palawan and other
tourists spots in the country.
4343
44. History has its own remarkable contribution to the Philippines. The
Allied Forces of Gen. MacArthur during his triumphant return to
liberate the country was met by the formidable Imperial Naval
Power of Japan right at Sibuyan Sea on October 24, 1944. The
world’s biggest battleship, MUSASHI, of Japan perished in this battle
and sunk together with 1023 of her crew.
4444
45. 4545
Remembering this historical event and the yearly pilgrimage of
relatives and countrymen of the protagonists in this war, USA and
Japan and their allies, will surely contribute in the upswing of tourism
and investments not only in Carabao Island and the province but to
the whole country. The memories of the Battle of Sibuyan Sea that
happened 63 years ago and the modern International Airport will be
the spark plug to the progress of Romblon’s group of islands.
46. Isla de Carabao or San Jose town in the
province of Romblon is 30% riceland /
cornfields and 70% coconut land. Terrain and
surroundings are mostly flat or gently sloped
topography, while the white powdery beaches
and clear blue waters are much better if not
equal to what Borarcay can offer. In addition,
there is spring water in the island. These are
nature’s contribution to Isla de Carabao which
make her an ideal place for modern tourism
development. All infrastructures needed of a
fantastic leisure island can be programmed
developed to convert the place into a world
class tourist island that can compare with the
best resorts around the world. 4646
47. TOURISM MASTER PLAN AND
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT:
The proposed development plan in these islands will
picture the past historical war years and memorabilia
