Philippines

Gov. Arsenio Quibranza Provincial Government Center is situated in Pigcarangan, Tubod, Lanao del Norte. The multi million (multi billion perhaps) government building was stylishly designed to bring together a mixture of Maranao and Cebuano traditional look and feel. Originally dubbed as Don Mariano Marcos Government Center, it is the seat of the Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte.
Lanao del Norte is a province of the Philippines in central Mindanao with the town of Tubod as the capital. The province of Lanao del Norte is bounded by Lanao del Sur, Zamboanga del Sur, Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental provinces. Lanao del Norte is predominantly Christian with Muslim minorities. In the face of the continuing negative media impression of Lanao del Norte, I still consider Lanao del Norte one of the most ideal place to live in the Philippines. The people of Lanao del Norte are geographically safe against typhoons and several other natural calamities. When I was stranded in Manila when typhoon “Ondoy” ravaged the country few weeks ago, I candidly was yearning to get back to my province the soonest possible time. Life in Manila is really bad except for the wealthy people. To all “probinsyanas” or “probinsyanos” who desire and would do anything to find their luck in Manila, gear up and tighten your buckles before moving forward to “the land of opportunity”. Obviously, lots of opportunities most likely wait in Manila but the certainty of getting into it depends ones qualifying ability.
Peace and order situation in Lanao del Norte may not be 100% stable but where in the world one would likely live a 100% crime or violence free environment?
