Basilan is celebrating its 44th founding anniversary. The anniversary is commonly known as PAKARADJAAN.

Pakaradjaan is a yakan word which means "celebration".

Pakaradjaan is yearly celebration for the founding anniversary of BASILAN from the day it was announced as Province from being City. This year's theme is "SOWING SEEDS OF PEACE:Celebrating LIFE, CULTURE and PROSPERITY."

This celebration is one way of telling people that the situation of BASILAN is getting better especially when we talk about peace.

We BASILEÑOS are promoting BASILAN as a tourism destination since it has many places that are really beautiful to visit.

here is an example of a place that is worth visiting for:

i would love to go to basilan... i hope more locals from this part of the region would get to know about steemit and start blogging here too about the island.. it would be awesome to see photos and stories !

yes I keep inviting them to join steemit..but unfortunately they were too busy daw

It is nice to see a different view on Basilan. Honestly when we first chatted months ago and you told me when you were from that place I got scared for you maybe it is the conditioning the media as inculcated in the minds of many people that Basilan is a dangerous and violent place. You should do more post about your area and let them see how gorgeous and peaceful it is. There mind be some hot zones in the area but it does not mean that the whole place is a hotzone. Keep yup the good work of informing people about your place I hope to see more of this here in steemit. Happy Steeming ate and see you around :)

yes I think steemit is one of the good opportunity to let other people know that Basilan is a beautiful and peaceful place now. Maraming pwedeng ipagmalaki ang basilan. Napakaraming pwedeng puntahan at marami ring napakagandang beach dito..

Are you a muslim girl, i go last november in zamboanga city basilan i see your island is so quite and peaceful hopefully soom more foreigner visit their

no I am not a Muslim. I am a roman catholic christian. I'm glad that somehow you went to visit our province.. I hope you enjoyed visiting here.

Maybe soon i'll back your province now i'm here coron palawan

Because of what media fed into the minds of people Basilan is often thought of as being a scary and violent place.

yes and it makes us sad. Basilan is a beautiful place . I hope the perception about basilan will change.
