Like in studying, in order to learn about something you should first know how and where it began.
So I am going to give you a brief summary of one of the most beautiful places
here in the Philippines;
according to wikipedia.com
“Mindanao is the second largest and easternmost island in The Philippines. It is also one of the three island groups in the country, along with Luzon and Visayas. Historically the island was also known as Gran Molucas or Great Mollucas.”
Mindanao is also named after the Maguindanaoans.
In size Mindanao is the 2nd largest island in the country.
and did you know that
The island of Mindanao is larger than 125 countries worldwide, including the
Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Taiwan and Ireland.
Well big islands need to be classified into groups so,
The different regions that are found there are
Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, Davao Region, Muslim Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN
The main dialects are
Cebuano, Chavacano, Davaweno, Tausug, Ilocano,Mandaya
and a lot more.
Now I would end this post with
Manny Pacquiao’s Quote
(he’s from Mindanao too)
“Now you know”.
