Oas
Skip Oas unless you have a specific reason to stop: a half-day is enough to see the church and the public market, then move on to Ligao or Legazpi.
Oas is a small coastal municipality in Albay, between Ligao and Polangui on Asian Highway 26. Its main draw is the 19th-century Oas Church and the Trinity Islands for island hopping. Most travellers pass through en route to Legazpi or Naga without stopping. A half-day covers the town centre; overnight stays are rare.
