As we approach Halloween, forget ghost stories! We're talking about real-life horror: Christians accused of treason, serving as human torches to light Nero's gardens, or facing wild beasts in the arena to entertain the Roman crowds.

Linus, Cletus, Sixtus, Lawrence, Perpetua, Felicity, Agnes, Anastasia, these names represent the ultimate courage of the early Roman Catholic Church. They were ordinary people who, despite systematic persecution under Emperors like Nero and Diocletian, held firm to their faith.

KILALA MO BA SILA?

Reopening this November, The Morion Camp at Dapdap Beach in the scenic coastal village of Tagum, Santa Cruz, Marinduque - the heart of the Philippines - is a must visit!

The Morion Camp, a distinctive venue inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Marinduque's renowned Moriones Festival. The Moriones, celebrated annually during Holy Week, depicts Roman soldiers – or "Moriones" – in meticulously crafted masks and costumes, seeking Longinus, the centurion who pierced Christ's side. The Morion Camp not only reflects this iconic imagery through its architecture and thematic elements but also offers a living homage to this deeply rooted Philippine tradition.

Elevate your next event from ordinary to legendary. Experience the spirit of Marinduque and create new traditions at The Morion Camp.
