THE BEAUTY OF TAWI-TAWI

 

Tawi-tawi’s neighboring islands: Basilan and Sulu may still be war-torn, and the rest of Southern Mindanao may still get a bad rap, but the province itself is working hard to shed these negative images.

According to the Philippine Star, Tawi-tawi made a revenue of P965 million last year from tourism alone. With such numbers, the 50,000+ local and foreign tourists must have been on to something.  Read More:http://ellry.com/blog/debunk-tawi-tawi-misconceptions
