Lantangan is a barangay in Mandaon, a municipality in the province of Masbate, Philippines. It is one of the 26 barangays of Mandaon and has a population of approximately 2,776 people, based on the 2020 Census. This makes up around 6.29% of Mandaon's total population.
The name "Lantangan" is believed to have come from "Gantangan," which refers to a traditional wooden box used for measuring rice. The term is derived from "gantang," a unit of volume used in the Philippines, which is equivalent to a gallon or 16 cups.

Our Lantangan adventure continues, with us sluming around the barangay passing time, eating, and visiting endless relatives and others.
All this came in the lead up to the start of the three-day fiesta celebrations.
March 15th to 17th 2025
This visit I made a return to the Lantangan Elementery School to get a better shot of the 'I Love' sign there than the mediocre attempt on the last visit.
Above is the entrance.

What once was a sari sari store but now seems to be a place to gather and chat.That's Esther's parents Efren and Rochell (if that's how it is spelt) in the former shop area. May we be a brother Ernie in the red t-shirt.Photo: Brad Peadon
The family cock was quite friendly allowing us to have a good pat.Photo: Brad Peadon

The road into Lantangan proper is always quite breathtaking.Photos: Brad Peadon
We walked for hours but never did quite find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Indeed, that end seemed to keep moving further away, then eventually disappeared altogether, leaving totally clueless as to where to find it.Photo: Brad Peadon
No better way to explore the island than on a trike.It also makes stopping here and there for photos even more easy.Photos: Brad Peadon
