Marinduque Provincial Tourism Council president and provincial administrator, Allan Jay Velasco announced that the Southern Tagalog Tourism Council Assembly earlier set for June 25-27 in Marinduque has been moved to July 23-25, 2008. It will be recalled that typhoon "Frank" hit the Visayan and Southern Luzon regions two days before the scheduled event causing STTC president, Andrew Nocon, to announce its postponement.
Marinduque LGUs, however,have looked forward to the event as it is also seen to give a boost to the local tourism programs of the six municipalities of Boac, Buenavista, Gasan, Mogpog, Torrijos and Sta. Cruz. The STTC is probably the only remaining southern Tagalog organization composed of all the Calabarzon and Mimaropa provinces that has remained unaffected by the official separation of Calabarzon (Region IV-A)and Mimaropa (Regiona IV-B) as regional bodies. The southern Tagalog provinces are composed of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan.

In behalf of Chateau Du Mer owners and its employees, we welcome STTC and its members for this meeting. Indeed, Marinduque is a province worthy of promoting as a beautiful, unspoiled and peaceful place for filipino and foreign tourists worldwide. Marinduque should be promoted not only as the Holy Week Capital of Southern Tagalog Region, but also as a whole year round tourist destination. Therefore,it is imperative that air transportation from Manila should be the highest priority project of the provincial government!!
