Ticao Island

Galleons, manta rays, and tidefalls

I was sitting quietly at the front of the van when our guide mentioned, 'Did you know that the Manila-Acapulco galleon ships used to make a stop here?' We were passing through the small port town of San Jacinto on Ticao Island in Masbate.

I usually ask more questions when I hear interesting facts about the places I visit, but at that moment, I wasn't ready. Ticao Island is such a mysterious place for travelers, and I was looking forward to the island revealing itself as we continued our journey.
