During our visit, the Municipal Government of Romblon treated us sumptuous authentic Romblomanon lunch as we enjoy watching upbeat street dance performance from Biniray Ati-atihan festival dancers. Food in Romblon are mostly freshly cooked seafoods while some are cooked mostly with coconut milk or what we call “Ginataan” in Tagalog.
