:cwm25: ... nowadays, I believe, 'Tawi-Tawi' constitutes an Autonomous Muslim Region of Mindanao - ARMM for short!

Western Mindanao? A small number of westerners live in Zambo. Used to be one on here called Kermit, he lived in a compound and liked guns :smile:

Real name Rodrigo.

Yep, westerners do live in Zambo, but would they be bothered with the Turtle Islands? :wink:

Gen San, Dapitan, Iligan and Ozamiz are meant to be OK.

Cotabato, Pagadian, Zambo and the rest of the Sulu peninsular are somewhat precarious according to a number of sources.

Haven't been over to Zambo in 5 - or maybe 6 - years. Same for Cotabato and Gensan. Most tourist westerners looking for Pinay girlfriends wouldn't bother going past Zambo down to Bongao or anywhere similar, but there are westerners down there. :wink:
