My architectural thesis research is entitled  "Focusing on Remote Island Tourism: A Proposed Tourism Facility in Jomalig, Quezon" which would promote Jomalig Island as a possible area of tourism while giving solutions to the architectural issues that come with being a remote island (lack of utilities, goods transportation to main land, natural disaster, etc.)

1. What is the local culture in the island that could be promoted for tourism 
2. What is the overall carrying capacity of Jomalig island?
