My Mindanao - Mein Mindanao!



I love the Philippines. I love to live here for good. I love Mindanao. Even having a terrible hectic schedule from time to time, I love to travel in Mindanao. That's not new. A lot of other expatriates do the same. Fact is, Mindanao is worth travelling around.

This island-region, situated down south of the Philippine archipelago is famous for its mega-biodicersity, exotic wilderness and culture-tourism destinations.

From east to west one can easily embrace several pristine waters of Mindanao's beaches, springs, rivers, and waterfalls; or be enthralled by the mysticism of the caves, the lithe grace of lake waters or the lush vegetations within the 'lungs of the earth' - the still vast and verdant forests.

I am just back from another trip tp Bukidnon. Yes, it has been terrible cool (cold?), foggy, and it pours cats and dogs. But I enjoyed the trip...! Even before I tried to clinch the challenging heights and thrilling trails of hills and mountains with their awesome cliffs, flora and fauna... .


Welcome to Mindanao! B'yahe ta Mindanaw!
