Being stuck and tourism

Rain stucked me.
So my mind wonder about how I am going to reach the places
people dreamt or dreaded going, huh.
Now, let me tell you that there is a relationship between
being stuck and of tourism.
You see I live in a city that is near a hydropower plant
whose generated electricity is sourced by God-made Lake Lanao.
Its a God-made lake and people quarreled about its use;
possession and the income it entails.
But I don't want to dwell in that...
I wish to bring you on its surrounding tourist spots where
only those who can factor their fears could reach. See
this how...

1. Go to Marawi city and find a Maranao-made banca
at the city's Padian. You sail to Lumbatan town and
asked local tourist guides such as municipal
tourism officer, the members of the MILF or the Moro National
Liberation Front to guide your trek to the most pristine river
at Butig, Lanao del Sur.
This is the only natural resort situated near the forestal...
and you could swim there until you'd decide to sell
bottled spring water from Butig Nature.

2. If you are a sociologist and you wanted to understand and
immerse in the communities riddled with clan feuds, please go to
Poona Piagapo, Calanugas, Lumbayanague, Pualas etc...
The people there will educate you about the the ill-effects of their
conflict and show you how they settle their feuds
using the traditional way.
You can also ask Hamidullah Atar, executive director of Rido Inc.,
to guide you in these communities. He is an expert of clan feud
settlement using traditional mechanism. He can also introduce you
to the most respected traditional leaders in Marawi and Lanao.

3. If you wanted to see the beauty of conflict-affected areas, please
get in touch with civil society, preferably Maranao leaders who could
tour-guide-educate you about the history of conflict areas. You
would be amazed how their communal efforts rise them from ashes.
Rent a horse and bring your best map. Don't worry about your
security. Just be certain that your guide is an ideologue
and a believer of Bangsamoro State. Your cellphone and other
similar gadgets are not needed in this tour.
Go to Camp Bushra, Camp John Mac, and Camp Abubakar.
With your tourist guide, you can understand the causes of
conflict in Mindanao first hand.


4. If you just wanted to sit down for a while with the forest and
listen to the rivers' music, go to Natures Park inside National
Power Corporation at Ma.Cristina of Ditucalan of this city.
You can also wonder why these peoples property is being
sold to private companies bit by bit.
You can find monkey, bayawak and of similar nature. Just
don't fish there... and I mean that.

5. If you wanted an escape from urban areas' nagging noise and
problem... hike to Poona Piagapo of Lanao del Norte. There are many
sites there were you can practice yoga toward the ultimate
experience of the power of reflection. Listen to crickets and
find the numerous fireflies at night. When you'd see them, you
won't need electricity to light your way.

6. You want to swim (again)? I don't advise the usual
Timoga swimming pool, Ma. Cristina falls, and all that
falls going to Pagadian.
Grab a malong and swim at Lake Lanao. Of course, don't wear
anything but that Malong to make your experience lighter.

Olah! When I am stuck again... I'll bare more tourist sites you'll
be envious to go about.
