By leveraging arts and creativity, Santa Cruz is inviting into our beautiful town visitors who seek immersive experiences -- in our culture, heritage, and eco-conservation as well as agritourism initiatives.

What is creative place-making and why should rural towns like Santa Cruz, Marinduque invest public resources in creative pursuits?

Amidst the serene landscapes of Santa Cruz, Marinduque, a remarkable transformation is taking place. This rural town, quietly situated in the heart of the Philippines, is now emerging as a vibrant hub of creativity, blending history, imagination, and community spirit into a dynamic narrative of innovation.

Walking along its main street, visitors are greeted by installations that evoke the timeless charm of ancient Roman ruins and the lively markets of the Middle East. These artistic creations play a central role in a broader vision—a vision that seeks to redefine the essence of place-making in rural settings.

The appeal of Santa Cruz extends beyond its natural beauty; it offers an invitation to travelers to experience its rich cultural heritage firsthand. These creative spaces serve as gateways to a deeper appreciation of local traditions and stories.
Against the backdrop of artistic installations, local artisans and entrepreneurs showcase their talents, creating a dynamic marketplace that fuels the town's economic engine.

But perhaps the most significant impact of Santa Cruz's creative resurgence is its effect on the community. Residents have embraced the arts with renewed vigor, fostering a sense of pride in their cultural identity and a greater appreciation for the creative sector's role in community development.

By investing in creative place-making, rural towns like Santa Cruz, Marinduque, position themselves as desirable destinations for tourists, investors, and residents alike. They create vibrant, livable communities that attract talent, spur economic growth, and enrich the quality of life for everyone.

In Santa Cruz, creativity is not a luxury but a way of life—a catalyst for economic growth, cultural enrichment, and community cohesion. This rural town is not just undergoing a transformation; it is setting an example for creative place-making in rural Philippines and beyond.

This Holy Week, don't just be a tourist. Be a pilgrim.

The Holy Cross Church in Santa Cruz, Marinduque built in 1760 is the oldest church structure in the Province of Marinduque. With ornate retablos and a preserved pulpit, the church is a testament of the Santakruzin's enduring faith and a sanctuary that nourishes our people.

Visit the Holy Cross Parish Church at Barangay Pag-asa this Holy Week.

Why is creativity and artistry so widespread in Santa Cruz, Marinduque?

Perhaps because most of our town residents grew up gazing up these beautiful murals high above the ceilings of the Holy Cross Church erected in 1760.

When you visit Santa Cruz this coming Holy Week, don't forget to drop by - or better, participate in the liturgies being held at - the Holy Cross Church in Barangay Pag-asa.

We're quite certain you'd be saying, "how lovely is Your dwelling place, oh Lord, mighty God, Lord of all!"

𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐍! Ilang daang taon bago sinakop ng imperyong Romano ang bayan ng Israel, naunang manakop dito ang imperyo ng Babylonia, dahilan ng pagkawatak-watak ng mga Hudyo at ng pagkasira ng Templo sa Herusalem. Sa panahong ito nagpahayag ang mga propetang Ezekiel, Daniel, at Heremias upang ipa-alala sa mga Hudyong wala na sa kanilang sariling bayan na manatiling tapat sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon sa harap ng mga hamon at ng mga anito ng mga mananakop.
