The province of Marinduque had six towns—Boac, Mogpog, Sta. Cruz, Torrijos, Gasan, and Buenavista. But only three of these were major settlements; the rest were remote and of relatively low value, though still useful.
Boac was the provincial capital and the administrative heart of the island. It was the seat of the Casa Real, and housed the governor and the majority of the island's elite families. Its central location also provided easy access to the other settlements. Keeping it as the cabecera and designating it as the logistical headquarters would be wise.
