Why Retire in the Philippines/Marinduque Vacations: Bellarocca Resort and Spa-2nd Year Anniversary-Premiun Wedding Destination, Marinduque, Philippines

Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Bellarocca Resort and Spa-2nd Year Anniversary-Premiun Wedding Destination, Marinduque, Philippines

Bellarocca Resort & Spa in Buenavista, Marinduque has now become Philippines' premium wedding destination for the Rich and Famous. My congratulations on its 2nd Anniversary (see video below). If money is not a problem for you, I highly recommend this place either for vacation/seminar or for a wedding venue.

But for most of us who do not have millions of pesos, an affordable but exclusive alternative for a Romantic Beach or Garden Wedding is the Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort also located in Marinduque in Boac(the capital town of the province). The following three photos were taken from a recent beach wedding at Chateau Du Mer.

Below is about a seven minutes video of Chateau Du Mer and followed by a twelve minutes video of the second anniversary of Bellarocca Resort. Chateau Du Mer is only 8 minutes from the Marinduque Masiga Airport. Bellarocca Resort is about 70 minutes from the airport and another 3 to 5 minutes by rubber speed boat.

The following three photos were taken during our recent visit to the Beautiful Rock last February 13, 2011.

Fruit Trees in the Gardens of Chateau Du Mer

The Mango Tree-I have three varieties in my Garden-The Indian, Guimaras and Carabao Mangoes My caretaker/gardener informed me last month that due to the El Nino drought in Marinduque, two of my Durian trees died in spite of his vigilant watering. One of the tree was attacked by insects that looks like a big fly but yellowish in color that sucks the sap of the seedling. The roots of the other tree was attacked by ants residing in the soil. However, my other fruit trees, the rambutans( 2), the lanzones(2) and the jack fruits ( 2) trees are doing well. The above eight fruit trees were given to me by Retired General Recaredo Sarmiento of Boac and Lucena., about three years ago. General Sarmiento is the “atid” of my wife. “Atid” is the colloquial term for brother. Evidently, Macrine's father, the late Bernardo Jambalos was the Godfather of General Sarmiento during his baptism and comfirmation. Gen Sarmiento's hobby is orchard planting, reforestation and farming. The other fruit trees in my garden are guayabanos, cashew, avocados, starapples, duhats, ates, guavas, mangoes( 3 varieties) and papayas as well as several varieties of bananas . Of the above fruit trees, my favorite is the guayabanos, also known as soursop tree known for its anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties . The following are photos of the fruit trees. The Durian photo is from the web. Note that it almost look like a jack fruit tree, except that the leaves are bigger and shiny. My desire is to have a passion fruit tree in the near future. You are welcome to visit my orchard and flower gardens any time, if perchance you are in the vicinity of The Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort and Conference Center.
