More of Longwaybye's feedback re: Mindanao

Yes, you should visit Mindanao sometime, it's a fertile area. I heard about the huramentados, it is said that the .45 caliber was invented that time, because the service revolver.38 didnt pack stopping power enough to down a rushing Moro, and many,so it goes, were hacked before a Moro came down dead.

New recruits go there, because Mindanao has got 3 rebel groups. PMA grads who want faster promotion go to combat there. those who dont want to risk, marry after graduation and use it as an excuse to get a job in Luzon.

The boyfriend of my 1st girlfriend's roommate,back in college, did just that.

By the way, I was born in that area of Mindanao immortalized in the Asin song " Timog Cotabato", funny that the lead singer Saro banares met his death there, a victim of senseless murder, long after the Moro-Christian wars ended.
