KABACAN... a brief introduction

August 18, 2011 marked the 64th Anniversary of my hometown Kabacan. A small, never been heard town in Mindanao, Philippines. The ever bombing and booming town that stood-still after few terrorist attacks and bomb explosion. Many say that its hard to live here because of the peace and order situation. Others regarded my town as one of the most critical places in the Philippines. But guess what? this town is a peace-loving town that embraces peace negotiations and advocacy. Those who once lived here and left will always return because the spirit of Kabacan will always live. We, who live in this critical town are considered fighters and proactive. Proactive because we make change in anticipation of future results. We will fill the town with youthful tunes. We will cultivate the land with bare and passionate hands. We will work towards progress with simplicity, intelligence and unity.

Kabacan is a one of the rice granaries of Mindanao. It has diverse cultures and traditions. Its very interesting town because of its complexities and intricacies makes this town intriguing. It has already universities, college schools, supermarket, wet markets, radio station, internet cafe, resorts, grocery stores, tourist spot cave and a lot more. As the earth revolves, as so goes this town. It becomes progressive amidst war and skirmishes. Every hurdle this town encounters, it raises up one step higher. It accepts difficulties as challenges and as an opportunity to step one notch higher compared to the neighboring towns. This attitude makes us speed up to success super highway.

Since August 1, 2011, this town implements the cellophane-less shopping. Plastic cellophane is prohibited to be used in buying goods. We can not use straw for softdrinks or soda. We are not allowed to use Styrofoam for food. Even small retail stores are following this rule. People here can easily follow rules specially if its about caring our environment. We used old newspaper and ready made paper bags for securing bought items.

If you want to enjoy the meekness of beauty of this town, try and visit us to have a personal experience. We can not offer a superb accommodation and hospitality but instead we can give you a place next to your home.
