I hope it ain't too late to welcome you here in Hive, @aimimitan!😁
I've been in Basilan in 2019. I went there alone and I couldn't forget how your local government welcomed, fed (yes, free foood!) and guided me in my 2-day backpacking. They arranged everything for me! I wish I could've stayed longer but time didn't permit since I had to travel to Tawi-tawi and Sulu. I hope you find your little corner here in Hive. Enjoy and there's so much to learn and discover here! I wish you well. 😊
Thank you @patsitivity ! WOW! Tell me you tried the SATTI! Most travelers don't have that courage to come or visit here alone. Sulu and Tawi-tawi also have great beaches, but I've never been to that area tho.
There's nothing to fear actually, I've met the most accommodating and friendly people in my ZamBaSulTa trip. I enjoyed a lot of free stuff in my trip.
I did! It was our merienda after climbing Bud Bongao hehe
Will definitely go back to explore Sibutu and Sitangkai hehe
