Marinduque (Click on thumbnails below to view larger images)

Marinduque is a heart-shaped island and it’s famously known for its annual Moriones (mask) Festival during Holy Week. During this festival, its shows a reenactment of the passion of Jesus and the event when Longinus, a blind soldier, punctures Jesus while crucified on the cross with his spear and blood droplets from the wound restores Longinus' sight.

People of Marinduque are said to be very hospitable in nature and are very welcoming. One such custom reflecting this is putong or tubong, which is a custom of welcoming and honoring friends and visitors. The honoree (or honorees) are seated and crowned with flowers while local women dance and sing for them. Other well-wishers throw coins and flower petals for long life. (Source: Wikipedia)
