A Love Letter to the People of the Philippine Archipelago

Welcome to the website of Biliran Province, a volunteer effort that has evolved probably the most comprehensive and extensive provincial website in the Philippines.

Donor governments, international organizations, non-government organizations, investors, funding agencies, and tourists can access updated and in-depth information about the province from here.

This website also provides a forum for presenting and discussing political, socio-economic, cultural, and educational concerns that affect the province and its people.

Natives of Biliran and their kin and friends around the world now converge in this cyberspace venue, if only to hear the "curacha" music. Join them as they get in touch with each other and share information and experiences about home.
