Marinduque Island
Sunday, February 20th, 2011
A week felt like a month here. Marinduque, is, an island. That’s it and that’s all. Small, sleepy and quiet, an island you can drive around within a few hours. Power outages are a fact of life. Days are hot, nights are lonely. You only hear crickets and wind and splashing waves. But around end of March and early April, the whole island erupts in a week-long festival called Moriones, a religious tradition that has become one frenzied Mardi Gras. Time was when Lenten season is the country’s quietest of the year. But yes, times, they are a-changin!
