Hi Joe,

Regarding your real estate question…… If you are looking around Gasan and Buenavista, we can probably help you, but if you are looking in Sta. Cruz, we can refer you to somebody a little bit reliable….

If you’ve read my comments on this site, you would know that we are now happily retired here in Gasan, Marinduque and have done our homework regarding real estate so probably know a few tricks by now.

If you have specific questions, we will try and answer them for you.

Hope to see you here in our little island paradise.

Cheers,

Guy

try to visit the heart island of marinduque its fun here, try to go to luzon datum and find manakla, a type of hipon, locally find in rivers of mogpog and torrijos,,. sure you will love it… nothing will lost in you, but if you don’t try it, you will lost the great experience in marinduque, like the trekking in CMI mine remains……and the putong, a welcome song and dance performe by. the native marinduqueno..

We too are looking at retirement in Marinduque. My wife Menchilita was born there and we have lived in Washington State for 28 years of our married life. We want to visit soon as Menchilita’s parents are approaching their 80′s and still live on the island they have hardly ever left.
Can anyone give us some reliable information about real estate and the like? Thanks and hoping to visit within the year.

Hi Dyames,

I would presume that you are now in Marinduque and had probably heard about White Beach in Torrijos, but also go to Cagpo Beach Club which is nearby. It is ran by an Australian and his Filipino wife, the beach is fantastic and the food and service is excellent.

Waterfalls in Sta Cruz is the Kawa-kawa though with no rain it may not be as magnificent as it could be, try and go to the Bathala caves, it is worth the effort and hire a guide to take you to the pythons.

If you get to Maniwaya, please let me know what you think, we would like to go there but had no chance or opportunity yet.

You can also go to the Marinduque hot springs in Malbog, go to the resort not the sulfur springs, much nicer and no smell.

Enjoy your stay in our island paradise.

Cheers,

Guy

Hi Guy,

We’re leaving Manila today and off to Marinduque. My mom is a native of Sta Cruz and it has been a very long time since we visited the island. (more than 20 years, i think)

We’re planning to go to the Maniwaya island. We heard and seen that the place is great.

I’ve seen some waterfalls but don’t know where they are in Marinduque.

Bellarocca is also nice but rather expensive.

Can you suggest other beaches and places where we can go to?

We’re no foreigners though, just wanted to take time off from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Appreciate your help. :)

Hi Neil,

I agree with you completely and Marinduque is now our home and truly loved it hear.

Thanks for spending time reading Trev’s blog, he posts every week with loads of pictures of Marinduque and its people and surrounds.

Hope to see you here in May, fiesta time so more things to experience and enjoy.

Please contact me through this website and would love to share some more of your stories and favourite places.

Cheers,

Guy

When I was young, I used to take my summer vacation here and now Im 30 years old, I missed the good old days when I was chasing Moriones during the Lenten season, playing at the farm, going to the perya to play dice game, eating pako, “maglukad”, and swimming at white beach resort. There are plenty of stories to tell and a lot of great things to say about this mystery Island which I consider my hometown.. It’s been 5 years since my last vacation here and I hope that I can visit my hometown this coming May..

By the way, Guy, you’re hubby’s blog looks interesting and I’ll read it on my free time tomorrow. I’m happy to know that your husband enjoys Marinduque.
