The HEART of the Philippine Islands comes alive again after Christmas. This is because we have “two Christmas” in our HEART. Only in Marinduque where we are reminded of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ (through Tres Reyes Islands) and of course “The Moryones Festival” where we are given a platform to reflect on His death and resurrection. Culturally, we are the only island where we welcome our visitors with “PUTONG or TUBONG”, which also points us to the “incarnate God” who was treated as “King of the Jew” with a “Crown of Thorn”. And as we exhibit our musical wonders of “KALUTANG”, may we be reminded that our small contributions in the development of our nation does not depend on the number of concrete that were laid but on the connectivity of our spirits “fixing our eyes on Jesus Christ, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrew 12:2 RSV).
Welcome to Marinduque – The Heart of the Philippine Islands
“Feel the HEARTbeat and Smile”
“Good News proclaimed in every HEARTbeat”
