Many years ago, people were hesitant, or scared even, to go to Mindanao due to conflicts between the government and rebel forces. But as peace and order were restored coupled with the local government’s efforts to promote tourism, people have started to see the natural beauty that was once shadowed by bombings and kidnappings.
