2. History of Mindoro
Trade relations with China where
Mindoro was known as “Mai” started when
certain traders from “Mai” brought valuable
merchandise to Canton in 892 A.D. Mindoro,
formerly called Mait, was known to Chinese
traders even before the coming of the
Spanish.
3. In 1570, the Spanish began to explore the island
and named it “Mina de Oro” (mine of gold) after
finding some of the precious metal, though no major
gold discoveries were ever made.
In 1754, the Muslims established strongholds
in Mamburao and Balete (near Sablayan). From
there, they launched raids against nearby
settlements. An expedition sent by Governor
Simon de Anda put an end to these raids.
4. In the early years, Mindoro was administered
as part of Bonbon, now Batangas. Early in the 17th
century, the island was separated from Bonbon and
organized into a corregimiento. In 1902 the island of
Lubang, which was formerly a part of Cavite, was
annexed to Mindoro.
Mindoro became a regular province in 1921. On
June 13, 1950, under Republic Act No. 505, Mindoro was
divided into two provinces, Occidental Mindoro and
Oriental Mindoro.

21. A distinct feature of the Hanunuo and Buhid cultures is
their system of writing.Throughout the Philippine
archipelago, only four groups continue to use a
precolonial system of writing. Experts in paleography
indicate that the writing systems of the Hanunoo and Buhid
in Mindoro, and the Palawan andTagbanua in Palawan may
be a cultural influence from India (Francisco 1963; 1964;
1971; 1973). Majority or 60 percent of the Mangyan can read
and write in their indigenous system.Writing is done on
bamboo stems (Conklin 1947:269; 1949).
