Mindanao, considered as the most dangerous island of the Philippines, has historically been avoided by tourists from all around the world. Follow me on my trip around the island to try to understand why. 🇵🇭

Mindanao is the Philippine's land of promise. Long gone are the people who gave it a bad reputation. People are at peace and busy doing their thing. This southern island and islands of this vast archipelago is perfectly safe and the nature so preserved and still to be explored. The Philippines is truly a beautiful country, the Pearl of the Orient Seas. Come and see for yourself.

"Long", like in 2017? I would also love Mindanao to flourish like the other two islands but you can't easily change someone's "advocacy" in few months or few years, let alone certain groups who were hardened by decades of battle. Of course, only a tiny part of Mindanao is dangeroys but any foreign looking person should still be careful going to those places since danger can surprise us again. Hopefully the threat is officially over. By that I mean, no Philippine soldier have to defend us from our own, go back home to their families and have all their energy exerted towards outside force, specially in the North Western part of the country.

Yes, it's generally safe now unlike in the 80's and 90's early 2000s. Kulas becomming filipino, Ansel commander daot and even brett maverick has been living in mindano for many years. They promote mindanao as safe to live and visit.

my kuya is currently assigned in Mindanao. He's a Battalion COmmander. He said that Mindanao is generally safe so long as you are respectful. I wish Mindanao will achieve a lasting peace. I have a high respect for all the Filipinos living there. Still please be careful. Kuya said, Boracay is nothing compared to Mindanao waters. I wish to visit the place. In late 90s, when my kuya was assigned in an area as a young Lt. they were about to go home when two of his men were sniped dead. It was a sad day when they returned here in 6x6, they were very sad. Imagine surviving the mountains for 6 mos and just when they are about to leave to go back here in Luzon, his men were buying pasalubong when they were killed. But now, I was told it is generally safe unlik e before.

@@ManduRugas-oe4kv That way of thinking is not quite right. Before you say something, it's important to learn and understand the context. Try to do research. I sincerely want a lasting peace for Mindanao and the whole country. I used to study the war in Mindanao, a lot when I used to work as a research analyst for the Armed Forces, but I admit that despite my experience, I don't know everything so I try to be careful with my words. Still, this place isn't for talking about politics. I'm sorry if what I said may have triggered some hate; it is not my intention. Even though the stroy I shared was sad, my big brother and the other soldiers I used to work with just wanted peace. It's interesting that people who have been in fights, in the frontlines aren't usually angry,they dont have such hatred in their hearts. but people watching TV at home have a lot to say. I hope we're careful with our words.

I was born and raised in Marawi City, Mindanao. It was a beautiful city, with a bustling fish market, delicious food, a stunning lake, and the coldest, cleanest air in the Philippines (don't compare it to Baguio City-I've been there many times). It was also peaceful (unlike what you may have heard). When I was 12, I left Marawi and moved around. Now, Marawi and everything in it has turned to ashes, but the city is slowly recovering, and people are seeing hope. I salute the man who visited places I've never been to, like Zamboanga and Davao. I know my people. You may have heard bad things about them, but they are no different from people in other countries. Mindanao is a beautiful place, but it is unfortunate that the rulers have not been able to manage it properly.

I can't help but laugh when people label Zamboanga (City) as "most dangerous". I can just imagine the warzone-like images that people start to have in their minds lol. Maybe this was true for a time (way way back) in very few areas of the city (remember Zamboanga City is huuuuge). I grew up in this city in the 90s and the 2000s and have had a lovely childhood. It is where I learned to dream and appreciate life. And whenever I'm home for a few weeks these days, it's a feeling that still persists whenever I'm in our beautiful city. I've been to many places already, yet my heart will always be in Zamboanga ❤️ There's also this endless fascination when people can easily start switching between Philippine languages (I don't think I've ever observed this in any other city/town in the PH, not that I've been to all of them tho) If you want to see a different (and more realistic) side of Zambo far from what the media portrays, I suggest you watch videos made by Erwan and his team in their channel FEATR (+ many other travel vloggers!)

9 years ago I lived in Mindanao ( Davao City ) for a year. The impression I go was the the further west you go heading towards Zamboanga , the more dangerous it became a s a foreigner . Having said that , I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would happily live there again

"Salamat po" is being respectful. If he looks older than u, say "salamat po kuya" If she looks older than u say "salamat po ate" Instead of just saying "yes" say "Opo" - more respectful way😊 Enjoy my country but warning: you'll fall in love with it😊 Some never leave😊

Mindanao is a beautiful place. There are a lot of amazing sceneries and fruits are so abundant. I always go to Mindanao every 5 years before pandemic. I want to go back soon. I miss the very sweet pineapples of Bukidnon and the unlimited Durian of course. Next time you should go to Lake Sebu 7 Falls in South Cotabato. The majestic 7 cascading falls. You'll be able to see the 7 falls when you take their zipline. It's the only way to see the other falls as others are not easy to reach.

So proud and happy for you.. You broke the mindset of the people that mindanao is very dangerous place. Through the video you make it's an open eyed that mindanao is also a safe place to visit for tourists. Many hidden gems in Mindanao that never been exposed .. Maraming salamat po. Much love and God Bless You🙏❤️
