Languyan
8.6
Lower score (below 6)
Languyan sits on the northern tip of the main Tawi-Tawi island and is a farming and fishing community with almost no infrastructure built for outsiders. The economy runs on subsistence agriculture and small-scale fish trade, and the population is entirely Muslim Sama-Bajau. A foreign man arriving here will be the most unusual thing that's happened in a while — that attention is not the social kind you want. There's no reason to be here unless you're doing fieldwork or have family connections, and even then the logistics are difficult.
