Mindoro covers 10,572 sq km (4,081 sq mi) and has a population of slightly over a million people. Until 1950, Mindoro was administered as a single province. Since then it is divided into the province of Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro.
The island of Mindoro is still rural, with its population dependent on agriculture. Among the crops grown on the island includes bananas, citrus, rambutan and coconuts.
Mindoro is also becoming a popular tourist destination, partly due to its relative proximity to Manila. The people speak Tagalog, though many are now fluent in English. Contact with Chinese traders for hundred of years means that there is a small community of ethnic Chinese speaking the Fukien dialect similar to Taiwan, Singapore, Penang and Fujian Province of China.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
