Marble Capital of the Philippines.

The marble capital of the Philippines is Romblon, a place known for its beautiful marble products and skilled craftsmanship. Years ago, I had the chance to visit the Tablas islands, and I remember seeing different marble items being sold everywhere. From tables to small souvenirs, the artistry of the locals was truly impressive. One thing that reminds me of Romblon is the marble mortar and pestle that I bought for my grandma. It was simple but very sturdy, elegant, and very heavy. I thought it would be useful in the kitchen and at the same time a nice remembrance from the trip. Until now, I still remember that purchase whenever I think about Romblon and its famous marble industry.
