Malamawi Island also known as the crown jewel of Basilan
The sea is calling. Too bad this beautiful place is an insurgent hotspot. But I've been there, and have tremendously enjoyed the beach for a whole day.

The people of Sibutu in Tawi Tawi are known for their boat-making skills and craftsmanship. A finished boat is called a "lantsa". Tawi Tawi is also one of those places in southern Mindanao that is not on most tourists' bucketlist due to security matters. However, visiting Sibutu is possible with the guidance of competent local guides and clearance from the police. The people here are very hospitable, kind and eager to share their culture. #LocalSecrets #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines #Adventure #culture #trovember #outdoors

Jolo, Sulu in Mindanao earned its popularity and notoriety mostly for the wrong reasons. A history of kidnappings make this place an unpopular tourist destination. What the news and social media fail to show however are the people – their warmth, hospitality and generosity as well as the natural beauty of this place like this amazing sunrise. After days of immersive travelling, I came to realize that it doesn’t matter if we have different religions, or that we dress differently, eat different dishes, or speak different dialects. Diversity is not about how we are different from one another. Diversity is about embracing one another’s uniqueness. #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines #LocalSecrets #Adventure #sunrise #Outdoors #trovember
