Talking about this, it serves as the gateway of Luzon area in reaching other provinces in Visayas. It has several municipalities, each of which restrains their own identity in terms of fishery and agriculture related endeavors.
I am from Calapan City and I have listed here the Top eight people who became known and gave honor and pride in their own chosen fields.
1. NOLI DE CASTRO – He is the first independent candidate to receive the highest number of votes in a Philippine senatorial election and the first elected independent Vice President of the Philippines, although he campaigned in both elections in an alliance that supported the Arroyo administration. He is currently the Vice President of the Philippines. He is from Pola, Oriental Mindoro.
2. Charo SANTOS CONCIO – Charo Santos-Concio or Charo Santos is a Filipina television executive, host, actress, and film producer currently hosts the network's longest-running drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya.

3. LITO CAMO – Lito Camo is a Filipino singer and songwriter. He established his reputation more solidly as a composer instead of being a singer which was his initial dream.

We are just an island (Oriental Mindoro) cut into half but this doesn’t mean that we cannot produce great politicians, artists and singers that promote Philippines around the globe. I did not include my name in the list but in my own little ways, I am.
To all of us, We do not know how far we can go but definitely we are all stars in our ourselves and in our own profession.
