This is Bongao, the center of Tawi-Tawi. People living here are mainly composed of Sama and Tausugs. There are also Chinese, Cebuanos and other tribes of the Philippines which are in minority. Almost everyday, people from all the islands visit here to buy and sell goods.
Most of the Tawi-Tawians are educated. Almost everyone can understand Tagalog — the main language of the Philippines. And just incase you’re a foreigner who speaks english, the locals can also communicate with you especially by teenagers and older. Enjoy watching! 🙂
