TORRIJOS, Marinduque – Marinduque Island is one of the newest locations that has been added to Google Street View, allowing visitors from all over the world to see the majestic center of the Philippines.
About eleven miles away from the island of Luzon is a heart shaped piece of land (370 square miles) surrounded by the clear deep blue sea - Marinduque. It is the geo-physical center of the country, hence dubbed as "The Heart of the Philippines".

Michael is the one and only person who covered the streets of the entire Province of Marinduque with the instructions of Google Lead Operation for Philippines, Leandro "Mags" Capistrano.
Abellera used the Google Street View Car for this new apps of Google Maps. Google installed 15 360 degrees’ cam to widen and capture the clear view pictures of beautiful spots of Marinduque.
On July 20, Google announced that the coverage in Marinduque was already posted and it’s now available online through www.instantstreetview.com. Google Street View Application can also be downloaded for free in Android Apps on Google Play and App Store.
