It's been a while since I last blogged in my favorite community, the worldmappin. I've been through a lot these days, I had my ups and downs, and really had a hard time coping.
Today, I will share with you some random snaps I took when we passed by Bukidnon. I took these photos around two to three weeks ago, and it's just today that I decided to share them with you.
Bukidnon, which in English means "mountainous", is literally a mountainous province where nature can be experienced at its best. Beautiful mountain ranges filled with lush vegetation, giving rise to a misty breeze, and enveloped in fog. The beautiful, clean rivers, streams in between mountains that give a perfect view to passersby and guests.
Bukidnon is the home of the seven diverse tribes living in harmony and unity, sharing their diverse, colorful culture, and farming is their main way of living. With its fertile soil and cool climate, Bukidnon has become the country’s agricultural powerhouse, producing high-quality pineapples, sugarcane, coffee, and vegetables. Local farmers are also embracing sustainable practices, ensuring that future generations can continue to thrive from the land’s abundance.
Every year, the Kaamulan Festival bursts with color and rhythm as Bukidnon’s seven tribes come together to celebrate their shared heritage through music, dance, and rituals. It’s a vivid display of cultural pride and community spirit.
But, take note, Bukidnon is not just about greenery, farms, and mountains. It is now an industrialized and very progressive, embracing technological advancement and globalization without sacrificing the naturally bountiful land they have. And this is one of the things this province is very proud of.
A place where mountains meet modernity, and where culture thrives amidst nature’s beauty, it is Bukidnon. It’s more than just a province; it’s a living testament to how nature, culture, and progress can coexist beautifully.
