The Biniray Festival, a deeply rooted tradition in Romblon Philippines, celebrates the revered Seรฑor Sto. Niรฑo de Romblon. This annual festival, held every 2nd week of January, combines religious fervor with cultural expressions.

Romblonโ€™s festival comes from the word โ€œbinirayโ€, which means โ€œwhere we sailed to.โ€ This religious event was held to praise the Nuestro Seรฑor Santo Niรฑo de Romblon, where its enshrined image can be found at the oldest Roman Catholic Church in the province, the St. Joseph Cathedral.

Seรฑor Sto. Niรฑo de Romblon is a 443-year-old carved image in the likeness of the Child Jesus made of wood and measures one foot in length.

Its rich history traces back to the early years of the Spanish colonial period. The Spaniards first came to Romblon in 1569 when Miguel Lopez de Legazpi assigned Martin de Goiti to embark on an exploration of territories north of Visayas. Historian Miguel de Loarca wrote about the island in 1582. According to tradition, an anonymous Augustinian priest commissioned the carving of the image in that same year as a replica of Sto. Nino de Cebu of the popular Sinulog Festival in Cebu, Philippines.
Other accounts stated that Romblon was administered by the secular clergy in those times, the Augustinian Recollects arrived in 1635, and the image was enthroned in 1728.

The image was bound for Madrid, Spain and the ship carrying it from Cebu took a stop in Romblon. The weather worsened when it was supposed to leave the Romblon harbor. Seven times it attempted to resume its voyage to Europe and seven times it had to return to the port to take refuge amidst an extreme weather conditions.

The sailors decided to bring the image to a church where a mass was heard. When it was time to bring it back on board the ship, the image could not be dislodged from its place. The ship eventually sailed without it, and it stayed on the island. The image's presence ignited a deep devotion to the Holy Child, laying the foundation for the Biniray Festival.

In later date, The image was tragically stolen from St. Joseph Cathedral in December 1991. A replica was subsequently created to replace the missing original.

In a miraculous turn of events, the stolen image resurfaced after 22 years, having been sold to a collector in Aklan in 2013. Romblon Town erupted in jubilation in February 2013 as they welcomed back their beloved Sto. Niรฑo de Romblon.

Hindi muna itutuloy ng lokal na pamahalaan ng Romblon ang paniningil ng Tourism Ecological Fee sa mga bisita at turista ng bayan ng Romblon.

Ang postponement ay ginawa upang bigyang-daan ang hinaing ng mga Romblomanon, partikular na ang pagsingil sa mga residente ng ibang bayan na kailangang pumunta sa kabisera para sa kanilang personal na transaksyon.

Inaasahang isasama ang mga pagbabago sa planong amendatory ordinance na inaasahang aayusin ang ilang detalye ng umiiral na regulasyon.
