Marinduque: Bullying this Blog

 Some people apparently belonging to a certain political interest group in Marinduque are seemingly suddenly obsessed with, at the present time, getting rid of this blogsite. Evidenced by what appears to be identical spams these are apparent fresh attempts to bully this site after past phishing episodes on this blog immediately following an election here, one that saw some leadership changes, pointing now towards a clear sign to restrict the blog sites of those perceived to be not aligned with whosoever is leaning towards increasing authoritarianism.

Marinduque: 10 de Octubre, Hermenegildo Flores: Forgotten Hero

Hermenegildo Flores, the forgotten hero from Bulacan. He wrote the poem “Hibik ng Filipinas sa Inang Espana” one that elicited poetic responses from two of our foremost national heroes, Marcelo H. del Pilar with “Sagot ng Espanya sa Hibik ng Filipinas” and the Great Plebeian himself, Andres Bonifacio who wrote “Katapusang Hibik ng Filipinas”, a historic poetic triad. Writings about Flores are to a large extent limited only to that stirring poem he wrote that led to the Bonifacio poem, described as “the climactic moment to the history of Tagalog poetry during the 19th century” (Mabangio).

Marinduque: TORRIJOS: a tourist destination. Not anymore?

In the southern most of Marinduque lies the farthest Municipality of TORRIJOS.

The intricate landscape of Torrijos captured the beauty of nature. It is said one of the islands finest as potential tourism destination. And yet, all it was will now remain just a slip of the tongue.

Torrijos can't afford to showcase all of these without the basic structure of health--the District Hospital (under the Provincial Government)  --which are now allegedly eying for "CLOSURE" instead of bolstering its services.
