when a sperm whale got stranded in the town of Governor Generoso in 2010 with the
provincial executive suggesting that the remains of the cetacean be hosted in a
museum.

2: so On December 4, 2012, Bopha, a Category 5 typhoon nicknamed “Pablo,”
struck the Philippines. Rushing flood waters destroyed entire villages and killed

may be intelligible with Mansaka and The Mandaya/Mansaka are famous for
their distinctive costumes and ornamentation, which involves tie-dyed textiles and
embroidery using a sophisticated system of symbols with named motifs.
Beadwork and silver craft are also well-developed. And The Mandayas believe
on God and has a deep respect to nature especially the land. The land is
sacred and holy. Man will die but the land remains. In principle, the Mandaya
believes that land is not to be owned because man is only a steward. And the
meaning of mandaya is. : a people inhabiting southern Mindanao,
Philippines. :
