Rio Grande de Mindanao, Maguindanao

On the way out from Cotabato, we passed by a bridge and the body of water beneath it caught my fancy and took a photo of it while we were mobile.  It was almost like an ocean which I thought it was. Not after cousin mentioned that it was Rio Grande de Mindanao, that I realized it was a river after all. And yes _sounded familiar. Then it hit me_ it was the one I had to help my daughter Kyla memorized in her Sibika subject, as the second largest river in the Philippines and the longest one in Mindanao. If only cousin had informed me a minute earlier before losing the sight of the famous river totally, I might have had snapped more photos of it. sigh*
