If you are fascinated with gentle creatures of the underwater world, the "manta bowl" off San Jacinto in Masbate is the place for you.


In the mid-water reefs of Sitio Tacdo—gan, Barangay Bagahanglad is a wide "playground" of giant manta rays which are locally called pasa-pasa.


Known in the science world as Manta birsotris, these gentle giants of the deep have been commonly sighted by scuba divers and coastal dwellers.
