Historically, the famous Moriones Festival is said to have originated from Mogpog. Moriones Festival was founded by a Spanish friar, Rev. Father Dionisio Santiago, the first parish priest of Mogpog. This festival is known to be one of the most colorful festivals in Marinduque and the Philippines. It is held in Mogpog and the surrounding areas of Marinduque island.
