Sulu Province
............................................................................................................................
Sulu Province, the 500 islands and islets
of the province stretch 190 miles from Borneo to
Philippines and form both a geological and a historical
bridge between the two. The region has scarcely been
touched by tourism and few Filipinos in the north even
take much interest in these remote islands. The
inhabitants of the Sulu province are the Tug Sug or
people of the ocean current and they call their home
Lupah Sug or Land of the current. Some 430,000 people
lives in the island and 95% of them Muslim. Their main
occupations are boat building, fishing, weaving fiber mat
and growing and processing coffee and fruit. |
