Climate

Climate typeClimate typePAGASA sorts the country's climate into four types by when the rain falls. Type I has a dry season from November to April and a wet one for the rest of the year; Type II has no dry season, with the most rain from December to February; Type III has a short dry season; Type IV has rain spread through the year.More in the glossary

Type III[41]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

History & Identity

Marinduque's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Marinduque in Now

Created
Made a province by Act No. 125, enacted 1 May 1901; annexed to Tayabas in 1902; Act No. 2880, approved 21 January 1920, authorized the Governor-General to re-establish it as an independent province[9, 10, 11]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe province's own account gives Malandik as the island's first name, a word thought to refer to its sloping land and to Mount Malindig, and says the Spaniards, who found it hard to say, called the island Mare Unduque.[12]

Its story

By the province's account, its early people traded with the Chinese as far back as the Song dynasty, as the shards and other artefacts still found in the island's many caves show.[12]

On 28 April 1898, once the last Spanish troops on the island had been overthrown, Marinduque declared itself separate from Mindoro and free of Spanish rule. Martin Lardizabal, who led the fight, became its military governor under the first revolutionary provincial government.[12]

In the war with the Americans, Lardizabal organized the Marinduque Revolutionary Force, later led by Maximo Abad, which defeated American troops at Paye, in Boac, on 31 July 1900 and at Pulang Lupa, in Torrijos, on 13 September 1900. Both days are now provincial holidays by law.[13, 14, 15, 16]

The Americans captured Lardizabal in March 1901, and on 15 April Abad and the rest of the force surrendered at Boac. On 1 May Act No. 125 made Marinduque a province, with Boac as its capital and Ricardo Paras Sr. as its first governor.[9, 13, 14]

Mindoro and Lubang were joined to it in June 1902, but that November Act No. 499 annexed Marinduque itself to Tayabas, and from 1907 it was a sub-province. Act No. 2880 of 21 January 1920 provided for it to become a province again, with Boac as its capital.[10, 11, 17, 18]

Sources differSources differ on Marinduque's founding date. Presidential proclamations kept its 52nd and 53rd anniversaries on 23 February, in 1972 and 1973, while the province now keeps 21 February: the centennial of Araw ng Marinduque fell on that day in 2020 and the 104th founding anniversary in 2024, counts that start in 1920. Yet the province's own 2024 annual report gives 21 February 1921 as its date of establishment.[19, 20, 21, 22]Calculated by Scene: each count starts in 1920: the 52nd charter anniversary fell on 23 February 1972, the 53rd anniversary of its establishment as an independent province on 23 February 1973, the centennial of Araw ng Marinduque on 21 February 2020 and the 104th founding anniversary on 21 February 2024 (2024 − 104 = 1920).
