Our Southeast Asian neighbors have nothing of this type of archaeological find. We should be extremely proud as Filipinos in discovering the amazing anthropomorphic potteries, which could suggest the backbone of our own culture.
Maitum, at first look, seems just any provincial town in Mindanao that one just passes by along the way: habal habals, tricycles and VHires go about their daily routines, ordinary houses, large rice fields, old stands of coconuts and a good highway that hastens one’s travel. But then again, its just the surface.
Over the years, I’ve been traveling around this beautiful island, worked, found and lost love and found again. It’s about time to write about the land I’ve always loved, Mindanao.
Maitum is a gem of a municipality in Sarangani, a young province located at the bottom of Mindanao Island. It is a beautiful place with interesting history, culture and sights to offer the traveler.
