BOAC, Marinduque, Feb. 6 (PIA) -- The island province of Marinduque will celebrate its Foundation Day on Feb. 21 with spectacle for the first time. | |||
The province had been celebrating Marinduque Day with no big celebrations. The provincial government had always been focused on the celebration of the two battles such as Pulang Lupa and Battle of Paye where all employees of different municipalities and students are enjoined. | |||
2012 marks the 92nd Anniversary of Marinduque. | |||
Gov. Carmencita O. Reyes said it will be celebrated in fitting ceremonies with activities showcasing its tradition, arts and culture and history. | |||
“These will show everyone that we were able to stand on our own and proud to be Marinduquenos and what we have become,” she said. | |||
Provincial Tourism Officer Dindo Asuncion assured a complete day of attraction and great experience for the people of Marinduque. Together with the provincial government, heads of different schools, agencies concerned and officials from different municipalities met to prepare for this big event. | |||
The celebration will start with a Pass and Review by Philippine National Police-Marinduque, Philippine Army with MSC Fancy Drill and with Mogpog Brass Band at the capitol ground. There will be unveiling of new Provincial Logo, motorcade from Provincial Capitol to Boac Poblacion, a press conference and an oratorical contest. | |||
A glimpse on the history of Marinduque and floats parade around the town will be witnessed. A play entitled, “Kasaysayan ng Lahing Marinduqueno” will also be presented at the Moriones Arena to encapsulate the island’s heritage and remind the people of our rich tradition, culture and natural resources. | |||
Marinduque became an independent province on Feb. 21, 1920 by virtue of Act No. 2880. In various times, the island was under the political administration of three provinces such as Balayan (now Batangas) in 1581, Mindoro (as a sub-corregimiento) early in the 17th century until 1898 and Tayabas (now Quezon) in 1902. | |||
On May 1, 1901, Act No. 125 of the Philippine Commission created the province of Marinduque with Boac as capital and on June 23, 1902, Act No. 423 annexed the islands of Mindoro and Lubang (from Cavite) to the new province. Four months later, on Nov. 10, Marinduque was made a part of Tayabas by virtue of Act No. 499. | |||
Marinduque was made sub-province effective Aug. 10, 1907 and finally became independent in 1920. History accounts that Marinduque’s independence did not come that easy after all. (PIA IVB/DOS/ May Danlagran/Marinduque) | |||
