Check out Maubo Beach—just one of the sights to explore around Jolo.

Jolo, Sulu in Mindanao earned its popularity and notoriety mostly for the wrong reasons. A history of kidnappings make this place an unpopular tourist destination. What the news and social media fail to show however are the people – their warmth, hospitality and generosity as well as the natural beauty of this place like this amazing sunrise. After days of immersive travelling, I came to realize that it doesn’t matter if we have different religions, or that we dress differently, eat different dishes, or speak different dialects. Diversity is not about how we are different from one another. Diversity is about embracing one another’s uniqueness. #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines #LocalSecrets #Adventure #sunrise #Outdoors #trovember
