“Musika sa Isla” is set in the quaint but bustling city of Boac in Marinduque province. The heart-shaped island takes pride in its scenic landscape, rustic charm, and other natural wonders. Its near zero-crime rate and impressive agri-based economy are attracting curious wanderers as Marinduque poises itself as a budding tourist destination. Once dubbed as the country’s “forgotten paradise,” it’s time for us to remember the beauty we’ve always had, the beauty we need to recognize. An easy bus trip away, JAC Liner even includes the RORO pass with their advanced reservations now available online. - Official Press Release
Here are the  details of the three-day festival:
May 18 - The International Concert at 6:00 PM, St. Raphael Parish
May 19 -  The Grand Gala at 6:00 PM, the Boac Covered Court

Tickets sell at an affordable price for Php 200.00 for each event and a 50% discount is offered to students. This event is supported by AGREA Philippines, a local social enterprise that hopes to revitalize agriculture in the island of Marinduque.
