Marinduque has always been a part of Southern Luzon. Its people speak Tagalog. But because of its proximity to the Visayas, many words in the island's dialect are Visayan in origin and ordinary Tagalog speakers cannot understand them. The Marinduqueños unique hospitality may be seen in their custom of welcoming and honoring friends and visitors in a ceremony called putong. The honorees are crowned with flowers while local women sing and dance before them. Other well-wishers throw petals and coins for long life. | Marinduque has always been a part of Southern Luzon.
