Marinduque, known as the “Heart of the Philippines,” is also the Butterfly
Capital of the country, hosting six hundred (600) butterfly species and contributing
70% of the country’s butterfly exports. The province is also recognized for its
diverse food products and agricultural commodities. Despite this, Marinduque
remains economically underdeveloped and faces challenges in providing support
for more local jobs and facilities for the butterfly industry.

This study aimed to strengthen the butterfly industry's competitive edge in
the province by providing facilities that improve the efficiency of business activities
and conservation initiatives. Furthermore, it seeks to utilize the industry's potential
to drive economic development in related sectors, such as tourism and micro,
small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). To achieve this, the researchers
gathered data through interviews, surveys, books, journals, and online articles.

As a result, the key challenges will be addressed, and the proposed project
will create sustainable opportunities for the butterfly industry, MSMEs, and local
communities, while contributing to the growth of Marinduque Province.
