is one of the smallest and newest provinces in the Philippines. It was a former sub-province of Leyte and became an independent province in 1992. The province is composed of 2 major volcanic islands: Island and Maripipi Island; other islands are Higatangan, Dalutan and Sambawan Island. – Wikipedia

The small province surprisingly offers immense natural attractions. It boasts tremendously wonderful mountains and waterfalls as well as white sand beaches that will draw everyone to come back for more. If you have been thinking about outdoors, might be just perfect for you.
