It sounds like Love One. It's spell L.A.B.U.A.N. Not Labuan, Malaysia but in Zamboanga City. A community where fishmongers and fishermen lived. Labuan is one of the Fish suppliers in the city and to some cities in Mindanao, Visayas and Luzon as well.
Last time we visited the place, our friends there prepared traditional Tausug food such as Kinilaw, Piyutu, Tiyapa Ista' and Tiyula' for us. They cook the big "Ista' Lali" into different Tausug dishes. We were so glad, because in the city, it's rare we can have fresh fish for free.
They were so generous Tausug Citizens. Yes, they were citizens of the Sultaniyah Sulu Darul Islam. They informed me that their allegiance to the Sultanate not because they don't respect the Philippine government, but they wanted to tell the GPH this is the way that peace would last for the Muslims in Sulu and Mindanao.
We shared many information with the Panglima and his men, from business to social and religious topics. At last, they had asked me if there any well off Muslim businessmen willing to invest in Tuna fish and Ice plant. Just wait, I answered. When Allah decides everything will come, like an eagle to hunt for their prey. Insya'Allah!
