Tawi-tawi, Philippines





Looking for a new destination for vacation???
  Here, I have one. The province of Tawi-tawi,    Philippines



      Tawi-Tawi lies at the southwestern tip of the country. It is an island province of the Philippines located in the (ARMM) Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. I am proud to promote and recommend it to you. I was there in Tawi-tawi for almost 10 years. I am just only one person that witnessed the natural and undiscovered beauty of Tawi-tawi. Many of us is not that familiar in this place and thinks that this is not a peaceful place because it is located in ARMM which is noted as a muslim area. Yes, a lot of lawless elements is situated in the Mindanao island particularly in ARMM but, not all of the places in ARMM is experiencing peace and order problems particularly Tawi-tawi. This place is really peaceful despite of its bad image said from many people. Tawi-tawi has the beauty of what nature should be. One of the pride of Tawi-tawi is their virgin forests and white sand beaches. There are 107 islands/islets in Tawi-tawi, one of these is the Eye-catching Sitangkai which is considered as the “Venice of Tawi-Tawi.” The Royal "Kupunga" rises straight out of an Arabian setting. The Malay influences as well as tribal arts and crafts are very much visible in the province. Here, it is not uncommon to see folks dressed in colorful malongs, the women adorned in beads and brass trinkets.
Turtle Island is also one of the islands. It's beauty is derived from its name "turtle island" because it is the biggest turtle sanctuary in the Philippines. And of course, the provincial capital. The only place in the province where simple amenities can be availed of. Lodging is spartan. Bazaars and small cafes crowd the commercial center. At the marketplace, foodstalls serve seafare and native delicacies like the "tapa" or cured boar's meat.
By the way, there are many means of transportion to get there. You can go by Plane or by boat.



        So Come and visit Tawi-tawi, Philippines!!!
