The History of Marinduque from Ulong Beach
August 1961 edition of Hemisphere, an Australian publication. Following up on yesterday’s post we have on the cover a line cut of a Morione’s mask by the Philippine artist Alredo Roces. The article detailing the magazine cover further describes a mask that is of the Mogpog variety.
The first of articles to be presented this month. An early piece entitled “The Mask of Longinus” by Alfredo R Roces, April 1961 Philippine Studies Vol 9. The article was written after a field trip by Roces and others.
Be sure to check out the photos of old masks and participants at the end, especially the photo from Tiguion, Gasan from 1960.

The queen of Garden Day is one of the famous Lardizabel sisters from Boac, Juanita. I do not know of any modern day celebration labeled as Garden Day anywhere in Marinduque. Sharp eyes will notice the spelling of Boac as Boak.
