Yup the furthest southern Island of Mindanao has some Muslim problems they just blew up a Catholic church the other day, most stay away from that one. I'm going with my wife so I won't be going there. Been watching some Documentaries and Youtube on the Islands some area's are real poor. I'm getting to the age where I really want to give back but I'm certainly not rich probably have enough for my lifespan but my wife is ten years younger so I have to conserve, live way below our means right now.
I've been very resourceful in my lifetime I'm going to figure it out how to help a few. Many of the young girls are abused so I won't be going over for just a vacation, but you're right it's pretty cheap there to stay. Oct of 2020 is when we want to leave, the weather is better in our winters. This will give us time to prepare, I can't imagine my old guy will be with us by then.
