Subrabas drove us on the ferry for 15 minutes, and then we drove for a full 5 hours.
We're driving along the coast. This is Lanao, an area where guerrillas are active.
'The area in the mountains on the right is where the MILF guerrillas are causing trouble.'
That was the explanation, but the scenery remained peaceful the whole time.
Nevertheless, checkpoints are set up everywhere.
But now it's peaceful and I wasn't stopped at any checkpoints.
However, they explained it to me as 'During the 2002 war, a bomb exploded here, killing several people and destroying the bridge.'.
(This is not the checkpoint shown in the photo.)
Our destination this time is the National Telecommunications Commission.
It's like the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in Japan.
My goal is to get my amateur radio license from Japan approved so I can operate on the air in the Philippines.
Thanks to Subrabas and Gigi, permission was granted for the broadcast that was referred to as 'Probably impossible.'.
The call sign isJI1FGX/DU9.
