		I already had it in mind to explore the islands that stretch south from the city of Zamboanga to the southernmost island of the Philippines just shy of Borneo.
		The Sulu Archipelago - of which Basilan is one of the larger islands - is situated in the Sulu Sea, a region as remote from Manila as Timbuktu; a region of pirates, sea gypsies and stilted houses above verdant under water seaweed farms.
		I was tired and alone but invigorated by a sense that this place was oddly different than anywhere else I'd been.
