I can’t give out a perfect picture to describe the beauty of our community has. It tickles my mind thinking why people would love to go to urban areas and try their luck to find greener pastures when there are a lot of beautiful things in a community like Tinglan, Mutia, Zamboanga del Norte. Sometimes extravagant things come along with simplicity and that is what some people can’t see even how rich and beautiful their place is. Greatly, I would say that nothing in this world can compare to the beauty it has. A fresh air to breathe, foods that are readily prepared like fruits and vegetables and most of all, the warmth of the people in welcoming, and it can never be repaid by any modern technologies present.
With the simplicity of life entails the simplicity for satisfaction. It may only seem to be hard for a city boy’s perspective seeing the situation the people are at. But with the life they had you can still see smiles and happiness in every individual you see, and I feel fortunate with my life that despite the problems they are into they still manage to live their life simple but are very happy.
