We were in Jolo in the year 1973-74 experiencing the bombing of Jolo, but before that tragedy, Jolo was such a peaceful and organized community though there is a curfew during that time, we stroll at night around 7 pm, a community with organize commercial zoning area, a friendly tausug citizen which i befriended some of my classmates at sulu high, a rebels were not an abu sayyaf but an ideologues, and they were in a a far flung areas like our npas, hoping that someday this area will also became another boracay of our time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240867611518260787.post-20315357408777798182011-12-09T11:33:56.375+08:002011-12-09T11:33:56.375+08:00No doubt Sulu has all the potential for tourism, b...No doubt Sulu has all the potential for tourism, but as long as the image is tainted, it will take longer to regain its past glory.

Please be it known to non Sulu residents that it was the Luzon media thru the military spokesperson who poison the mind of people about the destruction of Jolo. How on earth the MNLF would burn Jolo when in fact it is their place, their brethren's place and one of the place they are defending from. Yes! you are right my Dear visitor my beloved hometown, Sulu is absolutely stunning! Given the chance to regain what it was before Marcos, Boracay would stay far behind. The fruits their have always have the unique and strong flavour due to its organic in nature, the tree owners just let the mother nature to take care and the seasons come, ahhhh, they are all in abundance!<br />The sea is almost crystal clear everywhere plus the wealth of marine life. I remember my grandpa saying he dont like the ride feeling of jeepneys nowadays, I asked him why. He said in his time it was very relaxed and smooth and I came to realised it was an american car as per as the pictures, heheheh!

The long pier was interesting and even more was the military escort to Quezon beach where we stayed with the marines for about a week. The muslims we met there were very nice to us in the little village near patikul.

After that, most of the minority christian family left. These families were the core of Jolo society. They lived peacefully and happily with the muslim majority and together they made Jolo a great place to live in. I was born and raised in Jolo until I went to college in Manila. I left in 1972 and never went back. I hope one of these days I will go back. I can go on and on lauding this what was once an island paradise....But what I really want to say is fuck Nur Misuari, and the only virgin hole he can get his dick in is if he can put it up his nose!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
