About Sulu Islands
The Sulu island chain has some pristine beaches and colorful culture. Basilan island has the most vibrant tourism scene, but it has been affected by an ongoing Islamist insurgency. Skirmishes and terror attacks continue to happen throughout the archipelago, and as part of the Bangsamoro, they are included in travel warnings as well. In administrative terms, the islands are part of theBangsamoro(the formerAutonomous Region in Muslim Mindanaoor ARMM), though geographically they are separate islands, off mainland Mindanao. Most of the people are either Yakan or Tausug, and there are also a minority of Chavacano speakers from Zamboanga. Other ethnolinguistic groups are the Sama-Bajau (Badjao), who live in the sea and rely heavily on fishing as a source of livelihood.
