The People and Their Culture

Jomalig being the farthest island of the Polilio makes this island at the edge of the Pacific Ocean where its west coast is facing Quezon province while its south coast faces Camarines Norte of the Bicolandia. As such, the people can speak both Tagalog and Bicol dialects. The people are predominantly Catholic to which the island's founding anniversary coincides with the Catholicchurch's patron fiesta every May 18th. It is only during the term of its incumbent mayor, Rodelo Tena, separated the town's fiesta from its founding anniversary due to the principle of separation of Church and the state. May 16 is its Catholic fiesta while May 18 is the town's founding anniversary. There is no main product yet for the island as it is still under discussion by its local government. Initially, Mayor Tena and the island councilors thought of naming its festival as Surahan (Unicorn Fish) Festival however it may result to abuse and depletion of the fish species as such, they were planning to name it as "Seafoods Festival" instead. This is however not yet finalized.
