PLACE: Marinduque
WHERE: Marinduque, Philippines - Region IV-B (MIMAROPA)
DATE OF VISIT: April 8-11, 2010
"Marinduque the heart of the Philippines".
The island province of Marinduque is part of the MIMAROPA Region (Region IV-B) of the Philippines situated some 11 miles (18 kilometers) from the capital Manila. It lies in the northern portion of the Sibuyan Sea, bounded by Quezon Province in the north and east, by Mindoro Island and Batangas Province in west and Romblon Province to the south.
Marinduque is associated with the Moriones Festival, the trademark revelry and tourist magnet of the island. For some, Marinduque is also a reminder of a grim past when mining was an important industry in the island – an industry which took a toll on its environment and locals. But there is more to Marinduque than just Moriones and mining. It is a treasure trove of suprising and awesome finds.
I know I'm lucky to have friends that came from difference provinces here in the Philippines. Hehehe.. :) We visited Marinduque last April 2010, and our host is .. Mr. Kenneth Marquez (from the provinces of Marinduque). We are treated like king and queen in this wonderful island. Thank you Marquez Family for adopting us for a weekend :)
Now lets spot how gorgeous Marinduque is... :)
