Every year, faith takes center stage in the province of Marinduque as people showcase art and culture in a week-long festival of masks and costumes dubbed “Moriones.”
GASAN, Marinduque, April 22 (PIA) -- As part of the Earth Month, the Department of Energy and Natural Resources (DENR) Marinduque Provincial Office gave a lecture on Solid Waste Management and Climate Change Mitigation held at the conference hall of the municipality of Gasan last April 18.  


Life in the province is slow-paced and laid-back for most of the year, but during Holy Week the island comes alive with the sights and sounds of a Roman garrison town.
There were two participants for each of the 25 barangays of Gasan in the seminar. The lecture was followed by a Coastal Clean-up at the Bay walk along Barangay Uno, Dos, and Tres by the participants, joined by other municipal employees.  


Tourists from across the country, along with international visitors, flock to Marinduque to witness the transformation.
The municipality of Mogpog also participated in this celebration with a Coastal Clean-up by the municipal employees and students of the Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES) on April 20 at Barangay Ulong.  


Local residents of all ages and walks of life participate in the telling of the story of Longinus, reputed to be the centurion who stabbed the crucified Jesus with a spear and was healed by Jesus’ blood.
Marinduque regularly celebrates April 22 as Earth Day, which began in 2008 through the late President Corazon Aquino's Proclamation 1481. The province is being envisioned by its provincial government to become the new Agri-tourist destination. (LBR/MNL-PIA4B -Marnduque)
 
For residents of Marinduque, the festival is more than a display of artistry in the rendering of beautiful and garish costumes; it constitutes a religious vow of sacrifice.
