In Osiao, one can find Lake Danao, whose emerald waters mirror the surrounding mountains. As one of the hosts of the PNOC, the barangay provides natural energy that powers up the turbines of the National Power Corporation.

Osiao
Osiao is one of two hamlets that can only be reached by charting (often rough) waters. Populated by around 300 families, this tiny, remote barangay is nevertheless big in possibilities. It is here where tiger grass grows in wild abandon. At harvest time, the grass is woven into brooms, which then find their way to Baguio and are eventually sold as "Baguio" brooms.

Sto. Nino
Nearer to the Province of Albay than to the rest of Sorsogon, Sto. Nino evokes images of remoteness and isolation. There are no roads going there. To get to this remotest of islands, one must board a boat and muster the courage to rough it out with the waves.
The going may be rough, but it's most often worth the bout with seasickness. The waters are a calm shade of bluish green, and the surrounding mountains are a source of strength. On clear days, Mayon Volcano peeks behind the clouds, lending an air of symmetry to an island roughly shaped by the elements.
