4. BRIEF HISTORY OF
MARINDUQUE
Legend has it that the island of Marinduque was formed as
a consequence of a tragic love affair between two people:
Marina and Gatduke. Marina's father, is a local chieftain, did
not approve of this affair and ordered the beheading of
Gatduke. Before this could be done, the couple sailed out
to sea and drowned themselves, forming the island now
called Marinduque. Another version of the story told in
Buenavista, Marina is fairy who lives in the Malindig
Mountain. The suitor is a Duke. They got married and the
island was named after them, Marina and the Duke.
