Land of Lovable People

When we talk about beautiful places, many things come in our mind. But when you say you’re looking for a peaceful place, I would rather suggest, Odiongan is the best place to be. We’ll, I’m one of the luckiest Odionganon who belong in this island. Why? Because it is very peaceful and free from any danger. People of Odiongan call themselves as Odionganon. It consists of 25 barangays.

In every barangay there are public elementary schools and we have 3 secondary public schools. These are Libertad National High School located at Libertad, Odiongan, Romblon National High School – Main located in the heart of town and now there is a newly established school in Mayha, the Mayha National High School, an extension of RNHS-Main wherein I’ve been teaching there for 3 years. But some Odionganons, preferred to send their children in private schools.

Though we had only one state college in Odiongan, it was converted to University just recently . Through this, some students would no longer go in manila to have their college education for they offer different courses.

Odionganons are truly hospitable, we share ulam to our neighbors. Especially, ginataang langka, nilabog and gayabon ( gabi). Bananas, camote and other root crops or what they called duma are the favorite foods of Odionganons.

As years passed by, Odiongan was developed. As of now, there are some restaurants, bars, resorts, and hotels were built. Then last year we have the newly established mall located in the town proper. One of the favorite restaurant I enjoyed most is Lyns. There you can have your meal and snacks. It’s that we own the place, but because it is one of the well-known restaurant in the locality.

If you want to unwind and bond with your family, Rencious is the right place to go swimming especially during weekends. There you can bring you loved ones and kids.

At night, if you feel bored and nothing to do, you can visit any bar in Odiongan. Baywalk and Beach Inn are my favorite place wherein I can relax and bond with my friends.

This is Odiongan, the place to be.
