Mindanao is second largest island in Philippine Archipelago,
composed of 27 provinces, and situated in the southern part of the country. Since I was a young, if I hear Mindanao, my mind automatically
gives negative description: such as fear, battle, chaos, abduction, NPA, MILF, MNLF,
political problem and etc. No one taught me those but, news coverage is a huge
factor.
When I started hiking and
traveling, I met different people with their own
belief and religion that are totally different with mine. Instead of separating
myself from them, I practiced and learned how to understand situations,
broaden my mind and value others principles making my first impression with Mindanao to
“change.”
After reading its history and stories and saw photos from different spots in Mindanao, every time I
hear the word "Mindanao," it gives me eagerness and energy to discover
what’s really in there. I believe this place has a number of hidden paradise awaiting to be discovered. FEAR ... NO MORE! Let us make changes!
Got a new plan, instead of being
frightened, I want to obtain evidence to change other's minset. I want to change the fear to love by
dealing with our brothers and sisters in Mindanao, regardless of their race, beliefs,
culture and especially religion.
I am now eyeing for
sponsors to accomplish this plan.
Never stop exploring. Let us make Changes.
Today, let us celebrate for our Freedom
