PATIN-AY, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur — The country’s poorest province may not be the most depressed after all.

Agusan del Sur, the country’s fourth biggest province in land area, has a total of 14 municipalities and is the home of the biggest wetlands in Asia, the Agusan Marsh, which has 114,000 hectares of marshland.
