Hi!nice to hear your wife's family is from Camiguin.Im from Camiguin Island and my fiance likes Camiguin.My parents place is in Catarman,Camiguin.Hope to know your wife.Im here in Cebu while waiting the fiancee visa.

Wife's family is from Camiguin, but she grew up Cebu.

I was born in the Phoenix area, but have lived in California for the last dozen years.

.......

The island-province of Camiguin is a pear-shaped volcanic island in the northern tip of Mindanao. It is approximately 90 kilometers north of the City of Cagayan de Oro. It is bounded to the north by Bohol Sea, to the west by Macajalar Bay, to the southeast by Gingoog Bay and to the east by Butuan Bay.

....

Among the Province's major products are coconut, cassava, banana, camote, palay, corn, fruits, coffee and vegetables. Camiguin's volcanic soil has proved to be a fertile ground for planting various crops.

....

The Camiguin culture is a mixture of both Boholano and Cebuano culture. It is very colorful and creative. The people are deeply religious, hospitable and friendly. Cebuano is the major dialect in the Province. However, in the towns of Sagay and Guinsiliban, where most of the indigenous tribes reside, the Kinamiguin dialect is still spoken. Kinamiguin is derived from the Manobo dialect with some mixture of Boholano.

I come from Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines. It is 1,400 meters above sea level and nestled in the Cordillera Mountains. The weather here is perfect with an average temperature of 24 degrees C and can dip to around 7 degrees C during the winter months. It is regarded as a top destination for tourists visiting the Philippines, and places of interest include Burnham Park, Mines View Park, Botanical Garden, Camp John Hay and the Philippine Military Academy.

My fiance, who now lives in the Phoenix, Arizona area, was born and raised in Guimba, Nueva Ecija, a municipality created by the King of Spain in 1897.

My sister talks about Baguio often. She spent three years at Clark and she and her husband used to go up there for a get-a-way
