I stayed now here in Makati, but I go back home every now and then. I actually just got back and if ever I retire, though that's a very long way to go :), I'll still choose my hometown, Buenavista, Marinduque. If anyone of you ever needs a tour guide, just let me know:). It's for free, it's actually my pleasure to show you my province. I’m proud to be a Filipina, specially a Marinduquena.

I feel so sorry for you coz you just don't know how to appreciate the beauty of my country. If you ever been to Philippines, maybe you stayed at the wrong place. You can enjoy my country depends on what you are looking for. If you've been to other S.E. Asian countries, you must have observed that in Singapore, people don't smile often, we, Filipinos are the most hospitable and friendly people, and I know my other country men will agree on that. You can stay at a very decent hotel without worrying that your drinking water is contaminated. Even though my country is not rich as yours, whatever country you came from, I don't give a damn anyway, I love my country and I can't have someone dissed it! If you don't have something good to say, then don't open your mouth. It shows that your mouth is worst than the 5th world country! We don't need people like you in my country!

Its worth stressing though that malbog spring in buenavista is one of the best tourist attractions in marinduque, and it is a must to showcase the same in all tour-packages in Marinduque. The bulusukan falls as well in bagtingon buenavista as mentioned in the narrative is quite worth seeing, accessibility however and some environmental issues should be improved . hi, i read all the views/comments and suggestions and i do share the same feeling that the moriones festival had somewhat lost its supposed solemnity. such should be checked, properly addressed and or corrected by the CBCP.

I've been there twice with my friend Mommy Rose and it was a great experience seeing such a beautiful Island. I saw the Marcopper site as we passed through Labo. I admired the place so much as we traveled along the way to our destination, thou I felt sad because the mining site shows prosperity in the past wherein houses, hospital, library, church, golf course, bank, schools and airport are built but already abandoned to date. Machines, mining equipment and houses for employees are still there, intact but nobody is using. People there are also hospitable. Manakla (look like a half shrimp,half crab), Pancit Miki and Arrow root are the Marinduqueños best. Indeed, I would like to thank Grimaldo Family (Ate Pinky and Kuya Erick) in Sta. Cruz for their hospitality and accomodation. Go Marinduque! May your beautiful nature be a continues legacy to the next next generation to come. Mabuhay! Marinduque is a nice place.

My bf (aussie) and i traveled a lot here in Australia and Asia specially Philippines...I'm happy coz he is always happy to tell to our friends here in oz about the beautiful islands we have in Philippines. in fact our friends are going to Philippines on July and we are going to el nido palawan.. and when it comes to diving the country may not have the same amount or fishes and corals in great barrier reef but our beaches are better than other beaches in Asia and much the same in Australia pure white sand beaches! if you are a real traveler you will appreciate what's the uniqueness of each country. it's so simple as this. IF YOU ARE FROM OTHER COUNTRY AND WANT'S TO TRAVEL TO PHILIPPINES EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE WHAT PHILIPPINES IS.

I would like to say though that being away for 10 months from Aust, (Sydney especially which was my home for 21 years) and have decided to retire to the Phils, Marinduque in particular, my Aussie husband and I, could not wait to get back to the easy, simple and quiet life of Marinduque and very glad to leave the hustle and bustle of a very nice but very busy Sydney........ Life is too short to be forever caught up in traffic and getting stressed if there are more than 2 people in front of you in any queue! Wow,
