A historic underwater discovery has surfaced in the municipality of Pio V. Corpus, Masbate after a large steel vessel believed to be a Japanese World War II warship was found submerged 5 to 10 meters deep in the seawaters of Sitio Barko, Barangay Tanque.

According to Councilor Adolf โ€œPongpongโ€ Avila, Chairperson of the Municipal Tourism Committee, the discovery has strong potential to become a major tourism attraction once supported for preservation and development.

Meanwhile, the stunning Balangingi Diving Site in Barangay Casabangan continues to gain recognition after receiving praise from the Department of Tourism Region V led by Regional Director Herbie B. Aguas. A team from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) recently explored the area and were amazed by its rich marine biodiversity featuring whale sharks, stingrays, vibrant coral reefs, and diverse marine species.

The local government also recognized the efforts of Tourism Head King Gimena for promoting and protecting the municipalityโ€™s tourism destinations, alongside the continued support of Mayor Mark R. Antonio, President of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP).

From hidden wartime history to breathtaking marine treasures, Pio V. Corpus continues to showcase the natural and cultural wonders of Masbate Province.

The Sangguniang Bayan of San Pascual discussed the proposed establishment of a branch of the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) in the municipality during one of its recent sessions.

The proposal aims to bring financial services closer to the people, particularly local business owners, small entrepreneurs, and other sectors in need of faster and more accessible banking services.

It can be recalled that on February 18, 2026, Mayor Saki A. Lazaro, together with SB Member Maxim Lazaro, Municipal Treasurer Dodong Sullano, and other representatives of the local government, personally visited DBP Legazpi to formally submit the municipalityโ€™s request for the establishment of a DBP branch in San Pascual.

According to local officials, having a DBP branch in the town would significantly help boost the local economy, streamline financial transactions, and create more opportunities for residents.

At present, the Sangguniang Bayan continues to study and deliberate on the details of the proposal as part of its commitment toward a more inclusive and progressive development for the municipality.
