Legend has it that the heart-shaped island was formed as a consequence of a tragic love affair between Marina and Garduke. Because Marina's father disapproved of the romance, her ordered the beheading of his lover. Before this could be done, however, the pair sailed out to sea and drowned themselves. The island that rose from the waters became Marinduque. Another version says that the original name of the island was "Malandik" which was derived from its highest peak, Mt. Malindig. Because the Spaniards found this hard to pronounce, they called the island Marinduc which eventually became Marinduque. | |||
