On Sept. 24, 1974, some 1,500 male Muslim residents of Malisbong village—some as young as 10 and as old as 70 — were massacred inside a mosque by government troops.
“Before, when 5 p.m. strikes, you will seldom see people in the streets due to the fear sown by lawless elements,” Mayor Joenime Kapina told the Inquirer.But now, the well-lighted baywalk that was opened to the public recently has become a magnet that is drawing locals outside of their homes even at night simply to laze around and enjoy the sea breeze.
Essentially, tourists visit this town to frolic on its still relatively unspoiled beaches and the natural islands that are close to the shorelines. Nearby Magalong Beach Resort boasts of its twin islands that are just a stone’s throw from the shorelines where one can trek toward the peak and enjoy the fascinating view of the vast Celebes Sea.
About an hour away from the shorelines by pump boat, the Balasan Sandbar beckons. Corals and fish of different varieties and sizes thrive in the area.
