Broken Road

Last year my assignment took me to the heart of Mindanao. My frequent travel from Cagayan de Oro to Davao made me a witness to some of the nature violent force. Travelling from CDO to Davao and vice versa is so far the longest journey I experienced by land in a single continous trip. The journey is roughly six hours passing the whole length of Bukidnon province. Boring? Yes, sometimes, but if you just open your eyes you'll see the scenic beauty Bukidnon has to offer. Living by its name (Bukidnon according to me means "those who live in the mountain") the province is truly mountainous with a very deep chasm on either side of the road. On rainy months it is very risky to travel on some of its isolated highways.


The signage points to the detour as this road became inaccessible due to landslide. Rocks littered all over the place.

Its a dead end. The road lead to nowhere but into a deep chasm created by landslide. On the far side of the road are the newly harvested rice being dried.

This scene is the other angle of the damage created by landslide. See how deep the opening is.

I was later informed that no one was seriously injured by this event and that road was surely repaired by now.

Have nice day!
