What travelers say:
🚗 Cotabato is a city in Mindanao, Philippines, nominally the regional center of the Mindanao Muslim Autonomous Region, but it is actually an enclave of Magindanao Province in SOCCSKSARGEN Region, to the west of Morro Bay. Established in 1520, it has 37 towns under its jurisdiction. Day 1 in the Philippines failed. It took so long to go to a city that could not book hotels online, and this is a city that can't find the Raiders on the whole network. I just wanted to try my luck, maybe I thought there would be unexpected gains when I went to explore Puerto Rico. 🚗 I found out I wanted more after I arrived. I didn't see the beautiful islands and beaches on the plane. It was small enough to have no county bus station. The military and civilian shared airport. There were checkpoints everywhere on the road. The tutu driver wearing red scarves and covering his face was...🚗 I feel that I am very backward everywhere, maybe not as good as China 30 years ago. But it's actually quite a strange feeling. The locals I contacted felt very friendly, and most of them spoke English, which made me feel quite unexpected. After all, although it is the Philippines, it is only a place very far from the capital Manila. 🚗 Its name is Cotabato, Gotabato. This is a place you probably won't come in your lifetime.
