Marinduque, Island province in Mimaropa region, Philippines

The province spans across 952 square kilometers of land area between Tayabas Bay and Sibuyan Sea, containing mountains, caves, and coastal territories.

The Spanish colonial period started in 1571 when Father Pedro de Herrera introduced Christianity to the local inhabitants of the island province.

During Holy Week, the Moriones Festival fills the streets with residents wearing Roman soldier costumes performing biblical narrative reenactments.

Travelers reach Marinduque through direct flights from Manila via Cebu Pacific airlines or regular ferry services departing from neighboring provinces.

The province marks the exact geographical center of the Philippine archipelago, with Mount Malindig rising to 1,157 meters above sea level.
