 About the Place ...
      Marinduque is a heart-shaped island between Tayabas Bay in the north and Sibuyan Sea to the south. It is separated from the Bondoc Peninsula in Quezon by the Mompog Pass. Some of the smaller islands to the northeast are Polo Island, Maniwaya Island, and Mompong Island. The highest peak in Marinduque is Mt. Malindig (formerly, Mt. Marlanga), a potentially active volcano with an elevation of 1157 meters.


                  Let's START HERE..GO! GO! GO! ........


                  BE  CAREFUL ..JUST RELAX AND ENJOY
                                        THE RIDE!!!                












            
"My Lady your beauty is above all..." The giant image of Our Lady of Immediate Succor stands proud at the Balanacan Port in Mogpog Marinduque. Balanacan is the entry point for passengers going to Boac and the low lying areas of Marinduque. This giant image proclaims the faith of the Marinduqueno.




               One of the most colorful festivals celebrated in the island of Marinduque is the Moriones Festival. Morion means "mask" or "visor," a part of the medieval Roman armor which covers the face. Moriones, on the other hand, refers to the masked and costumed penitents who march around the town for seven days searching for Longinus. This week-long celebration starts on Holy Monday and culminates on Easter Sunday when the story of Longinus is reenacted in pantomime. This is a folk-religious festival that re-enacts the story of Longinus, a Roman centurion who was blind in one eye.

   
        Witness the scenic, 1-km long, fine white-sand White Beach in Poctoy, Torrijos. It is probably the one of the best beaches in Marinduque and is one of the most frequented beaches in the province. It has a magnificent view of Mt. Malindig, and the outlaying coral reef with its clean and clear waters is very good for snorkeling.                                            



        Bellaroca Island Resort and Spa, a private island that can be found in Buenavista, Marinduque, stands out from other luxurious resorts because of the Mediterranean architecture that this resort possesses.            Relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy the comforting relief that Bellaroca Isaland Resort can give you, the Heaven of Marinduque.


         
           
                  Sulfur Spring is situated in Malbog, Buenavista, Marinduque, beside the dormant volcano, Mt. Malindig. The Spring si composed of three different pools: the kiddie pool, the pool for the adult, and the pool where the sulfur spring can be found. From the spring, the water flows straight to the other pool. Sulfur, based on the traditional medicine, is believed that it can be used for medical skin treatment most especially for psoriasis, eczema, and acne.
