This island is the strong hold of Abu Sayeef but is in an area where law and order are strictly homemade. Inquire at the local mosques and civil centers to understand just exactly what the crisis of the moment is. Best advice is to let the locals steer you clear of the kidnapping and attacks on foreigners that occur here.
