ANNIVERSARIES. A scanned copy of the Biliran provincehood campaign sticker in 1992 (above) reminds us that Biliran Province will be 17 years old on May 11 this year. The provincial government did not commemorate this milestone event in 2007. The lower photo shows members of the Knights of Columbus, Naval Chapter, in formation before the start of the Eucharistic Celebration of Thanksgiving to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Canonican Erection of the Diocese of Naval last March 7.

A Love Letter to the People of the Philippine Archipelago
Thomas Leto, the Fil-Am author of the above manifesto,
has visited the town of Maripipi, the hometown of his mother, a few
years ago. He claims that his piece is a call for thinking and
contemplation, not action.
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.
