Here’s another interesting topic from my friends in Masbate, who upon reading my previous column about rural banking (Too big, or not too big? October 3) expressed some frustration that their province no longer has any rural banks. Technically, there is in fact one Masbate-based rural bank, the Rural Bank of San Jacinto (San Jacinto is the main town on Ticao Island), but its only branch is actually located across the strait in Bulan, Sorsogon.
