Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.
-Runi

We are surrounded with beautiful things in this world. We just need to look deeper and further. This is something that I realized after taking a walk yesterday. I have been living in this province all my life and yes, I have dreamed of reaching the world’s beautiful travel destinations which I often see in my social media timelines. I wanted to experience how it feels to be surrounded with beautiful creations. Thus, I traveled and chased these dreams endlessly.

Yesterday, I got the chance to wake up early and decided to take a walk to find inspiration. I was dazzled with the beauty laid out in front of me. Was I too impassive the past few years to not see the paradise I live in? Was I too busy chasing the wrong things that I have forgotten to appreciate what I have?

Yesterday, I managed to capture few photos to share to all of you guys. Below are the top reasons why you should rethink what Bukidnon looks like.

The word Kaamulan refers to the gathering of the seven ethnic tribal groups of Bukidnon. It is celebrated every February 1st to end of March every year. Kaamulan Festival showcases the rich and colorful culture and tradition of Bukidnon. This festival serves as a thanksgiving ceremony for good harvest and also to ask the blessing of the ancestors for a more fruitful year. One thing that sets this festival apart from the other festivals in the country is it it graced by indigenous and cultural groups who truly represents the province.
