Sultan Kudarat Itinerary, Backpacking in Mindanao

The Provincial Capitol of Sultan Kudarat is situated in Isulan, and according to reviews, it is one of the most beautiful capitols in the Philippines - it's definitely a big YES for me. The capitol compound is 9.2 hectares covered with well well-maintained landscape, while the artistic structures are based on Islamic architecture, painted with white and gold. On the other hand, in the middle of the capital ground, there's a gigantic golden statue of Sultan Kudarat, whom the province was named after.
