My second most favorite province in Panay Island. This enchanting province makes me come back from time to time. Probably due to the unique beauty and experience it offers to its visitors. From majestic mountains of Mt. Madja-as to the crystal clear waters of Malalison Island and to various cultural activities, one will never be bored in Antique. Located in the region of Western Visayas with a population of over half a million in 2017. It is accessible via plane from Manila starting December 2018, vans or buses from Iloilo with 2 hours of travel time. I will be showing some of my favorite places in Antique. You can search for specific articles on this site. I’ll be updating this article from time to time. I need to dig into my photos.
