1. MINDORO
RG LUISVINCENT GONZAGA

2. History of Mindoro
Trade relations with China where
Mindoro was known as “Mai” started when
certain traders from “Mai” brought valuable
merchandise to Canton in 892 A.D. Mindoro,
formerly called Mait, was known to Chinese
traders even before the coming of the
Spanish.

3. In 1570, the Spanish began to explore the island
and named it “Mina de Oro” (mine of gold) after
finding some of the precious metal, though no major
gold discoveries were ever made.
In 1754, the Muslims established strongholds
in Mamburao and Balete (near Sablayan). From
there, they launched raids against nearby
settlements. An expedition sent by Governor
Simon de Anda put an end to these raids.

4. In the early years, Mindoro was administered
as part of Bonbon, now Batangas. Early in the 17th
century, the island was separated from Bonbon and
organized into a corregimiento. In 1902 the island of
Lubang, which was formerly a part of Cavite, was
annexed to Mindoro.
Mindoro became a regular province in 1921. On
June 13, 1950, under Republic Act No. 505, Mindoro was
divided into two provinces, Occidental Mindoro and
Oriental Mindoro.

5. Geography of Mindoro
Mindoro is the seventh largest island in
the Philippines by land area with a total of 10,571
km2 ( 4,082 sq.mi ) and with a total population of
1,331,473 as of 2015. It is located off the
southwestern coast of Luzon and northeast
of Palawan.

7. Mount Halcon is the highest point on the
island, standing at 8,484 feet (2,586 m) above sea
level located in Oriental Mindoro. Mount Baco is
the island's second highest mountain with an
elevation of 8,163 feet (2,488 m), located in the
province of Occidental Mindoro.

9. People of Mindoro
The plains of Occidental Mindoro are
inhabited by theTagalogs and the remote
forested interior by the Mangyans. Extensive
tribal settlements of Mangyans in the province
belong to such sub-groups as the Iraya,
Alangan,Tadyawan, Buhid, Hanunuo, and
Bangon, Ratagnon.

18. Literature of Mindoro
Mostly written on bamboo slats using chiseled
wood, Ambahan is the Mangyan’s indigenous poetry
written in their own writing system.This poetic
literary form is believed to be 3,000 years old.
According to the Mangyan Heritage Center, of the
four tribes who have retained their own syllabary,
two of them are Mangyan tribes: the Buhid and
Hanunuo.

21. A distinct feature of the Hanunuo and Buhid cultures is
their system of writing.Throughout the Philippine
archipelago, only four groups continue to use a
precolonial system of writing. Experts in paleography
indicate that the writing systems of the Hanunoo and Buhid
in Mindoro, and the Palawan andTagbanua in Palawan may
be a cultural influence from India (Francisco 1963; 1964;
1971; 1973). Majority or 60 percent of the Mangyan can read
and write in their indigenous system.Writing is done on
bamboo stems (Conklin 1947:269; 1949).
