A young man from a neighboring island wanted to marry the princess but Datu didn't agree with it.

He arrived at the finish line hopelessly and at this point, he requested the princess to kiss him as the only reward he could receive.

Because of the geographical location of Jomalig, the district found it difficult to be recognized and established which further contributed to its slow development.

It was only in the year 1952 when Jomalig, Quezon was subdivided for agricultural and residential lots, as sponsored by Polillo Mayor Mamerto Azarias and the Municipal Council.

It instigated them towards development in agriculture and with this, many people from the Bicol Region migrated for richer pastures and an uplifted livelihood.

Considered one of the smallest and farthest island municipalities of Quezon Province, its land area is at 5,665 hectares (14,000 acres).
