Caraga Region

I was born and raise in the region of Caraga in Mindanao. Caraga is the newest geopolitical region in the Country. It's also a one-stop shop for history, anthropology, business, daydreaming and adventure. Butuan City is the provincial capital of Agusan del Norte. It’s been where my family and I reside for over 30 years. You can find here the Golden Tara of Agusan, a faded, gold-painted statue of an ancient goddess w/c stands outside the airport. You can also finds here the three museums such as Balanghai Museum, Butuan City Museum and Diocesan Ecclesiastical Museum. Here you can find Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, both the largest freshwater and the largest mangrove, swamp in the Philippines and a home to rare and endangered flora as well as tribal communities. A historic marker commemorating the first mass in Mindanao stands in Magallanes. I can still remember when my husband visited me to the Philippines. We went to the century old bitaug w/c would be found in Magallanes. My husband was really fascinated of the beauty of the tree. I can also recommend you the Tubay Mountain Beach resort if you want to experience the unique beach beside a mountain. You probabaly would love it.
