Philippines (Mindanao) Aug - Part 2

continued...

What I really loved though was the people!! They were so friendly and welcoming, and despite having no money were clearly people who were proud.




While their homes are simple they had usually made every effort to make them comfortable - with roughly constructed benchseats, tables and so on outside and other simple improvements.




they are amazing dancers and singers - these are kids performances


Out in the rural areas the roads are terrible - in this area they grow pineapples and bannanas for the big companies who pay them almost nothing, and bring their big trucks through and destroy the roads - it was seriously crazy. Our driver was a total legend though. We only got bogged once - which was an great effort!! This is it...
