"In the days of those kings the God of Heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crash and put an end to all these Kingdoms, and itself will stand to time indefinite” Daniel 2:44
NOW IT CAN BE TOLD THATMINDANAO – the Land of Promise Southern Philippines is the center of cultural and historical conflict in the region. Being the second largest island in the entire region, there is a need to promote and preserve the indigenous cultural legacies to preempt and avert its consistent steady declination and ultimate destruction by the commercialization of man, by man in this third millennium for innovative and meaningful societal change.
What is needed now is for the ethnic groups to preserve their very own unique and historic cultures, indigenous songs, dances, instrumental music (gadgets), artifacts, the rituals of the ethnic groups of the entireMindanao , Sulu and Palawan (Minsupala) and others.
It is now the mission of the Indigenous Peoples to “wrest from oblivion the centuries – old cultural and historical roots and heritage as well as the unique legacies of the people. Some of the historical-cultural treasures include indigenous songs, music, rituals, customs, chants and other practices and values for the succeeding generations to appreciate and enjoy. It is incumbent for all the indigenous peoples to save the vanishing cultural heritage of the ethnic groups- Maranao, Tausug, Samal. Lumads and other ethnic tribes.
In the context of the new millennium, foreigners and other visitors from the Philippine regions (Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao) and foreign countries come to this Holy Land to see for themselves the unique culture and legacies of the Indigenous Peoples-the old-remnants of the “Moro Wars” the Jihad battles between the Muslims, the Americans and Japanese the lantakas (brass canons) Krises, Kampilans. Other cultural items of interest for the visitors from local and foreign countries are pagoda-type unique mosques, the Maranao torogans (royal houses), musical instruments (kulintang type, kubing, ensemble, farm tools and implements, bird traps and other legacies of the vanishing ethnic tribes in the “Promised Land of Mindanao.”
CRISTINA FALLS
THE PRAYER OF MARIA CRISTINA
I had been silent for centuries: I run deep in the jungles that protect, that hold me for continues existence. My melody as I strike the rocks beneath me awakes and inspires the living creatures that inhabit my wonderful vicinity. I lie undisturbed, untouched and unmolested.
Now, behold me! I am gradually depleted everyday. Man´s cruelty to forest that provides shelter toLake Lanao
I love the people. Yet, they don’t know it, they don’t hear it, they don’t feel it. And if they realize the profoundness of my love, they ignore it.
I am nearest to the point of my extinction. Soon, I will be gone. Soon, I will perish. Soon I will die. Could anyone help me?
To thee, why are you so cruel to me? I am the therapy of thirsty animals that drink me from day to day. I am your food for fishes, shrimps, crabs and shells live with me. I am your fresh air of Lanao, for that fresh air comes from me. I am your electricity, for I uncomplainingly run the wheels of your hydro-electric plant. I toil every moment for the continuity of industrialization.
I am your roads and bridges, for steel and cement factories exist when supply them electricity. I am your light when darkness falls upon the face of the earth. I am your electric fan on warm summer days. I am your bread and delicious food when run your electric stoves. I am the hot coffee of MSU scholars when they use me to heat their water. I am their light as they toil upward in the night. I beg you to love me. People of Lanao, please protect me, and the trees that nourish me, for I will build your civilization.

Year 2004 of August, I was with some of the spiritual organizations fromManila Tipanoy Cave
The natives asked me for assistance to mine the fertilizer but I was at the moment searching for my existence and purpose in life. It was indeed a breath-taking place and a real paradise rich in natural resources, a stark contrast to the object poverty of the settlers those who as a consequence for not a few are indoctrinated to join the subversive insurgents criss-crossing the area.
The people in the area need assistance for a decent living. A road I have never experienced in the countryside so bad if not the worst of its kind. No normal human can adopt if given an option. Living in this area you must have a lot of patience and endurance to survived, in a very depressed situation such as this. The place certainly needs urgent help!
Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippines and one of the three island groups in the country, with Luzon the largest and Visayas being the other two. The region first came in contact with Spain in the late 16th to early 17th century through Spanish soldiers and friars who discovered the country in 1521 and began its colonization in 1571 with the establishment of a Spanish settlement in the island of Cebu in the Visayas by Miguel Lopez de Legaspi.
As an island in the southern part of the country, Mindanao is considered the second largest part of the country at 94,630 square kilometers, only about 10,000 km² smaller than Luzon. The island is mountainous, and is home to Mount Apo, (MT. of ALPHA PHILIPPINE OMEGA) the highest mountain in the country. To the west of Mindanao island is the Sulu Sea, to the east is the Philippine Sea, and to the south is the Celebes Sea.
The island group of islands encompasses Mindanao island itself, plus the Sulu Archipelago to the southwest. The island group is divided into six regions, which are further subdivided into 25 provinces.
The island group of Mindanao is an arbitrary grouping of islands in the southern Philippines which encompasses six administrative regions. These regions are further subdivided into 25 provinces, of which only four are not on Mindanao island itself. The island group includes the Sulu Archipelago to the southwest, which consists of the major islands of Basilan, Jolo, and Tawi-Tawi, plus outlying islands in other areas such as Camiguin, Dinagat, Siargao, Samal, and the Sarangani Islands.
The six regions are the following:
1. Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX)
2. Northern Mindanao (Region X)
3. Davao Region (Region XI)
4. SOCCSKSARGEN (Region XII)
5. Caraga (Region XIII) and the
6. Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)
Northern Mindanao (Region X) consists of the provinces of Bukidnon, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental, Misamis Oriental, plus Cagayan de Oro City. The province of Camiguin is also an island just off the northern coast. The administrative center and capital of the region is Cagayan de Oro City.
Davao Region (Region IX), formerly Southern Mindanao, is located in the southeastern portion of Mindanao. The region is divided into the provinces of Davao Oriental, Davao, Davao del Sur, and Compostela Valley; plus Davao City. The region encloses the Davao Gulf to the south and includes the island of Samal in the gulf, and the Sarangani Islands further to the south. Davao City is the region's administrative center.
SOCCSKSARGEN (Region XII), formerly Central Mindanao, is located in the south-central portion of the island. It consists of the provinces of Cotabato, Sarangani, South Cotabato (which used to be a part of Region XI), and Sultan Kudarat, plus Cotabato City. The names of the provinces together with General Santos City spell the name of the region which is an acronym. Cotabato City, geographically located in, but not part of Maguindanao province, is the region's former administrative center. Koronadal City, in South Cotabato, is the new administrative center of the newly formed region.
Caraga (Region XII) is located in the northwestern part of Mindano. It is composed of the provinces are Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte, and Surigao del Sur. The administrative center is Butuan City in Agusan del Norte. The region also covers the outlying islands of Surigao del Norte such as Dinagat Island, Siargao Island, and Bucas Grande Island.
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is a special region which covers the territories predominantly populated by Muslims. ARMM has its own government unlike most of the other regions in the country. It consists of almost the whole of the Sulu Archipelago (Isabela City of Basilan is part of the Zamboanga Peninsula region) and two provinces in the mainland. The provinces located in the Sulu Archipelago are Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi.
Basilan and Tawi-Tawi are themselves the main islands of their respective provinces, while the main island of Sulu is Jolo Island. The mainland provinces are Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao. Cotabato City, which is not part of the ARMM, is the region's administrative center.Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX), formerly Western Mindanao, is located in the landform of the same name. It consists of the provinces of Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay, and two cities—Zamboanga City and Isabela City—which are independent of any province. Isabela City is the only territory not In Mindanao island itself and is located on Basilan. The region's new administrative capital is Pagadian City and the whole region used to be a single province named Zamboanga.A cluster of eight caves, big entrances and beautifully formed stalactites and stalagmites inside the chamber 36 kms. away from the City.
