Mount Malindig is a large potentially active stratovolcano and highest mountain in the island of Marinduque lies in the towns of Buenavista and Torrijos.

Malindig is considered a potentially active volcano, in part because of the sulfuric springs of Malbog. Its unique location, at the heart of Southern Tagalog, creates a panorama that encompasses Mindoro, Verde Island and Southern Luzon all the way to Bicol and Burias Island. There is a military radio outpost at 900MASL.

The mountain is the largest on the island of Marinduque and the most popular climb and hike for mountaineers and alike, known for its unique environmental biodiversity. It is the home of different species of wild orchids and other endemic wildlife. Due to its height above 1,000 meters (3,300 ft.) above sea level, by law it has been identified as a protected area. The dormant volcano has three peaks, the Trek and climb to the peak is rated as easy to moderate. After passing the Radio Station base on the mountain, it has been known to be a mossy and closed canopy forest trek with regular foggy surroundings. It is also used by the Buenavista townfolks as a cattle grazing area.

Here are the other beautiful shots of the majestic Mt. Malindig.

2 cops hurt in Boac firecracker blast


LUCENA CITY, Philippines – Two policemen were injured when firecrackers they were about to dispose of accidentally exploded in Boac, Marinduque on Wednesday (May 10), police said Thursday.

Chief Insp. Yancy Sapio, Boac police chief, said the policemen were about to start the disposal of 82 packs of “five star” firecrackers - each pack containing 100 pieces - in a plastic tumbler at the river bank in Barangay Santol around 3:10 p.m. when they exploded.

Two policemen, Senior Police Officer 2 Nelson Ricohermoso and Police Officer 2 Jeffrey Gutierrez, sustained injuries on different parts of the body and were brought to the Dr. Damian Reyes Memorial Hospital for treatment.

The blast also damaged a police mobile car and a fire truck placed on standby for the firecrackers’ disposal.

The firecrackers were left abandoned by illegal vendors and recovered by policemen  way back in November 2015.
