Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro

Pinamalayan is a municipality of Oriental Mindoro in the Philippines. The name Pinamalayan was said to come from the word "ipinamalay" meaning "made aware or made known". Before the island was inhabited, there was a couple Mina and Ador who came on a boat from a far away island (probably Masbate). For days they were hopelessly looking for an island to land. One dawn came and Mina woke up and found an island that is the Mindoro island. She woke up Ador and informed him of the island. The act of waking up and making him known of the island was the origin of the word "pinamalayan" meaning the place where he was made known.
