Romblon - Transportation and Communication

Transportation and Communication

Situated at the center of the archipelago, Romblon links the supply areas of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Tugdan Airport in Alcantara, Tablas Island is only less than an hour away from Metro Manila via flights once a week by South East Asian Airlines and three time a week by Zest Airways. Direct ship routes from Manila as well as the southern Luzon ports of Batangas City and Lucena City intensify its linkages with industrial CALABARZON region, making the province an ideal location for supply distribution and light manufacturing ventures. The capital town of Romblon and the port town of Odiongan are the province's trade and commercial centers.

Romblon takes pride in having a number of media entities.
