first things first :)

19 Nov

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;

Mindanao

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”.

    good one ange…there are a lot of misconceptions about Mindanao and Zamboanga in particular, this is a good start to clear things up.
