Mahayahay School is out in the Province of Surigao del Sur, not too far from Bislig City. Looks like something from a hundred years ago, don’t you think?

When I visited Tawi Tawi in 2007, I had the opportunity to go to Tango Island, which is a private island owned by the Governor of Tawi Tawi. This little beach is on Tango Island. Very inviting, don’t you think?

This beautiful place is called “On Farm” and is in the hinterlands of Davao City, in the Marilog District. It is primarily a banana plantation, and is owned by a friend of mine. What a beautiful place! Cool, fresh and unpolluted air, beautiful scenery… how could you ask for more?

The City of Prosperity!

Well, it’s actually not the City of Prosperity, it is the City of Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur! A small stop along the highway between Davao and Butuan. Notice how nice the road is? I took this photo in 2006, and the highway had just been completed! Very nice!

This is the Capitol Building in Bongao, Tawi Tawi. It really has the distinctive look of a Mosque, and sits atop a hill overlooking the City of Bongao and many islands of Tawi Tawi. Very beautiful place!

Truckload

This truck is carrying a huge load, don’t you think? I saw this truck crossing over a bridge that was still under construction in the Compostela Valley, near Monkayo.

Rice Field

This rice field is in Davao del Norte, about halfway between Panabo and Tagum City. How about that tree? Oh, that’s not a tree at all, it’s bamboo! Did you know that Bamboo is actually a type of grass? It is the tallest variety of grass known to man!

You’ve heard of Manny Pacquiao, right? Manny is the People’s Champ, and he is from General Santos City, and you can see him on the sign above the Jolibee Store on Pioneer Avenue in General Santos City!

These young school girls caught my attention when visiting a school in Bongao, Tawi Tawi in 2007. They sure are cute, don’t you think?
