 | | Sorsogons story began with the formation of the Philippine Archipelago, with its present shape and characteristics — all 7,107 islands, stretching 1,208 miles from north to south — adorning the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. |
 | | When Sorsogon became a province independent of Albay on October 17, 1894, it had only fourteen towns which were formerly organized under Albay: Bacon, Barcelona, Bulan, Bulusan, Casiguran, Castilla, Donsol, Gubat, Irosin, Juban, Magallanes, Matnog, Pilar, and Sorsogon, the capital town of the province. |
 | | Sorsogon as the rest of the Philippines, having been under a succession of western colonial powers as well as rich commercial interaction with its Asian neighbors, adopted several forms of religion. |
