- Reaping the rewards of infrastructure developments in Sorsogon
Sorsogon is one of the important sites of the government’s BBB program, marked by the recent opening of the Sorsogon City Coastal Road—considered among the best in the Philippines.
The 5.52-kilometer road crosses three bridges, connects several barangays, and runs along the province’s most magnificent tourist attractions: the Rompeolas or the Sorsogon City Baywalk.

This road, a mere 10 minutes from Lumina Sorsogon, not only facilitates the coming and going of goods into the city proper, and reduces traffic, decongesting old routes; it also protects the coastline from the threat of big waves and storm surges.
Meanwhile, the BBB continues to enliven both trade and potential for the Bicol region with massive developments including:
- The Bicol International Airport, or the Southern Luzon International Airport, some 48 minutes away from Lumina Sorsogon;
- The Sorsogon Connector Road, an 15.87-kilometer road, which is foreseen to make reduce overall travel time for 5,000 travellers each day by a staggering one hour;
- The Barcelona–Casiguran Road, which cuts travel time between the two municipalities by at least 10 minutes; and,
- The Matnog–Sta. Magdalena–Bulusan Road, spanning 31.41 kilometers, will not only ease up transport of marine goods but also boost local and international tourism by making the region’s tourist locations accessible.
