Bayugan

A girl I met in Manila, and like, has family in Bayugan. We are renting h a house there temporarily starting April 1. She will move there and I will be going back and forth to the US for a while until I settle a few affairs at which point I will be moving to PH permanently. This is not about the girl... we are good and she doesn't ask for money and she doesn't "need" me to have a good life. But I've heard negative things about Mindanou. W.e have visited and didn't have any problems, but does anyone here have any actual experience there, or even live there?
