Last Nov. 6, I had the honor and privilege of going to Sibutu in Tawi-Tawi to give the keynote address at the unveiling of the historical landmark for the burial site of Sheik Makhdum with Dr. Emannuel Calairo of the National Historical Commission and Jeremy Barns of the National Museum. We were warmly welcomed by Sibutu Mayor Nurfita Ahajah and Vice Mayor Haji Alshefa Pajiji, along with Vice Gov. Al Syed Sali and former Vice Gov. Michael Ahaja.
