About Tawi-Tawi
Bongao, Tawi-Tawi — a name that often evokes mystery and beauty at the same time. As the capital of the southernmost province of the Philippines, Bongao is more than just a jump-off point to the islands of the Sulu Archipelago; it’s a destination in itself. From the sacred climb up Bud Bongao to the serene coastal villages of the Sama-Badjao people, this island town invites travelers to experience a slower, more soulful side of Mindanao. Here, every view of the turquoise sea tells a story of faith, simplicity, and peace — far from the noise of modern cities.
