Marinduque has always been a part of me, my mother was born and raised in the heart of the Philippines making me a half Marinduquenian. Yearly, I spent my summer and Christmas vacation in this place. And yearly, we celebrate the Moriones festival during the Lenten Season. Marinduque is the home of the famous Moriones festival.
And the last two summers, we've been going to Poctoy White Beach.
If you love white sand, crystal clear water (you can sea school of fish), a little bit of sea weed, tan lines and friendly people then THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!
Poctoy White Beach is located at the town of Torrijos.
