Most people are never going to see the beaches or islands from Zambo down to sitangkai,but they are absolutely awesome,the boat ride across to sitangkai itself is breathtaking,the sea is so shallow and unspoilt,excellent visibility,all that group of islands has something to offer,how many westerners have climbed Mt Bongao?As you said Abu Sayyaf have ruined the place,I even did a few trips back-door to sabah
Exactly !!!
Try Mt. Apo and Mt. Matutum...sooo Amazing.
