I also know someone from Sorsogon. His name is Fr. Richard Salas. He was in Canada. I do not know where he is now. I also know of Bishop Arturo Bastes, of the Diocese of Sorsogon. I have heard that Sorsogon is a fishing area.
Thank you very much for the information. This site is continually updated so as soon as new information comes in, it will be included.
Bishop Arturo Bastes was born in Loboc Bohol Province, so his name is included in that province’s list.
They are all politicians. You may want to check the section in this wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorsogon_City?wprov=sfla1
