I am from San Jose, the largest municipality in the province of Occidental Mindoro. You can get there by air or by land and sea. It is known as the “Gateway to the South” but it is more than that.
San Jose is gifted with diverse natural resources and is the second biggest producer of rice in the Southern Tagalog region. With our unspoiled white beaches, underwater paradise, and other captivating sights, our town is a promising hub for sustainable tourism.
I am happy to say that through the years, my hometown manages to maintain a laid-back vibe that’s perfect if you’re in the mood for relaxation.
