Mindanao—the second largest island in, down south of the republic…very far yet so close to my heart. For most of the urbanites, it is a place that most should avoid because of adjectives associated with it: war-torn, poverty-stricken and home of the “terrorists.” Indeed, the notion of the island has evaded so many people to visit this great island in the south. However, in my own perspective, we have to take a second look onto this island. Mindanao has so much to offer, so much to see, so much to experience yet so neglected and feared by many.
Mindanao was (and for some, still is) “The Wild West” of the Philippines, as what they said-a tapestry of stories of three seemingly opposite cultures, vastly still unexplored and full of potential.

Biography
Berniemack Arelláno is just a simple and boring guy who wants to go amok whenever he’s being prevented going somewhere else. Since birth, he has been traveling with his family and friends. He dared himself not to be a tourist, but a sojourner, a wanderer, a traveler, an explorer and most of all, a professional commuter. Seeing the world is not enough, he likes to experience the culture and the thrill--the spice of life. Since then, he has been dreaming to emanate Ian Wright and Diego Buñuel’s travels.
