Marinduque Sojourn


A laid back life. I had the pleasure of visiting Marinduque with my uncle, Engr. Napoleon Recidoro. We took an early morning bus from Cubao to Dalahican Port in Lucena. From there, we took a 2 hour boat ride to Marinduque. Tito Nap used to reside in the island having been employed with Marcopper Mining Corporation during the 70s. He toured me around the barrios of Capayao and Ulong, both used to be mine sites of another mining company, Consolidated Mines Incorporated (CMI). What caught my attention were the visible scars that recount the effects of mining activities to the island province. But all this grim history is now overwhelmed by natural beauty and tranquility that Marinduque offers its visitors.
