Title: The Other Face of Mindanao, Philippines
Post by: 3739 on January 10, 2010, 10:02:40 AM
Hello, I would like to share something about my home. It is not only about the Philippines, but also my home is specifically in the far south - Mindanao.

If all of us think about this place, probably, most of us would have to say something bad. Which is true, but not all of it. Perhaps I would like to indoctrinate you about Mindanao, it's not the worst place everybody thinks. Mindanao has places far harmonious than any other province in the country. A fact we may also consider, Mindanao produces not only one of the best fruits, crops etc for export but also it produces the most number of missionaries for God who wanted to reach out in some Southeast Asia countries like Thailand.

This is Mindanao, specifically Bukidnon. "boo-kid-non"

Mindanao people are joyful, loving, and caring people as well. You could say we also share some character with those people living in Visayas and Luzon. I know some of you may have heard the Maguindanao Massacre late last year where 57 people were ambushed and killed (30+ were journalist) and hence was categorized as the most deadly place for journalist to go. Their cars were buried in the ground and still there is no resolution for their case. Or you might also heard about the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) where the Burnham were kidnapped... etc. etc. etc.

Mindanao is a wreck, but not everything in it is in war. Oh, please pray for Mindanao.
