Bintakay is one of the barangays located in Mogpog, Marinduque. 

You can easily reach this Barangay when you travel via roro thru the Balanacan Port Pier, also located in Mogpog.

From Balanacan to Bintakay is almost 15 to 20 minutes only via tricycle. From Balanacan, you can enter this barangay thru Brgy. Capayang or via Brgy. Laon in which you'll pass through Sitio Sihulan, already a part of Bintakay.

From Sitio Sihulan, almost all the roads are already cemented. With remaining few that are still for the project of the barangay to finished and be cemented also. You will also pass a small cement bridge that will lead you to the Sitio called "Ibaba - also part of the Proper 1". You will pass through also the waiting shed to Sitio Biyaya also proudly known Sitio Buaya.

After this, you will reached the Bintakay Elementary School which was founded in 1912.

 From here also, you can clearly see the Bintakay river that sometimes dry, and if lucky, with times that clear water flowing on it. Water from here came in the mountainous area of Sitio Guintuan and Sitio Lunsaran. 

You can also see a legendary Bigaa tree proudly still standing beside the river, with a bamboo tree and a supportive dike beside. This tree according to elders is over 100 years old of age and still graciously standing since the beginning of the World War II.

All kids raised in Bintakay had surely a swimming experience beside this tree that is situated right beside the river. In their times, no constructed dike yet and this part was still deep in which they can dive freely.

The Bintakay Church is also located here where you need to pass through before you finally reached the Brgy. Bintakay Barangay Hall and the court.
