Mamburao, Municipal capital in Occidental Mindoro, Philippines
Mamburao is a municipality in Occidental Mindoro spanning approximately 283 square kilometers and comprising 15 distinct barangays. The area ranges from coastal regions to elevated territories reaching approximately 1,765 meters.
The settlement originated as a Moro stronghold until Spanish forces conquered the region in 1560. This conquest brought significant changes to local administration and population structure.
The municipality is shaped by several ethnic groups speaking Iraya and Tagalog who maintain traditional fishing and farming practices. These communities define daily life and work across the area.
Visitors can move around using tricycles, minivans, jeepneys, and buses, while an airport handles chartered flights. The existing infrastructure makes it relatively easy to explore different parts of the municipality.
The local fishing industry exports yellowfin tuna and giant squid to markets in Europe and Japan. These exports show the importance of maritime commerce to the region.
