Mindoro Province has been getting media attention lately

Mindoro is the seventh-largest island in the Philippines. It is located southwest of Luzon, and northeast of Palawan. In past times, it has been called Ma-i or Mait by ancient Chinese traders and, by Spaniards, as Mina de Oro (meaning "gold mine") from where the island got its current name. The island was divided into its two present-day provinces, Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro, in 1950. Before then, since 1921, the entire island was one province. But unfortunately, Mindoro has been quite less known from all over the Philippines. When asked where Mnidoro is located, people often said that it is in Mindanao.

Anyway, these past few years, until now, Abs-Cbn - a multi-million tv company began to include Mindoro dudes and gals in their famous reality shows. Here they are:

Kim Chiu - This beautiful young lady won the hearts of every filipinos that's why she won the very first title "Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Big Winner." Little less-known, her father lives with its other family in San Jose Occidental Mindoro. Kim, went to Mindoro to study at a private school there though she didn't stay long and went back to Cebu.

Ejay Falcon - PBB Teen Edition Plus Housemate: Ejay Falcon from Mindoro. Ejay Falcon is 18 from Mindoro and was labelled as the Promdi Hottie ng Mindoro. According to host Toni Gonzaga, Ejay doesn't know how to use a cellular phone which is a shock to Filipino community sine almost all of the Filipinos have a cellphone. Ejay was born in Pola Oriental Mindoro and is studying at University of Manila though he gets his vacation at Mindoro. During the reality show, many people notice his Mindoreño accent which is a plus for him. At the end of the day, Ejay won the Big Winner title just like kim Chiu.
