Ang Epikong Darangen ng mga Maranao ng Lawa LanaoThe Darangen Epic of the Maranao People of Lake LanaoDarangen EpicBARMMLanao del SurMasterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, UNESCO; National Cultural Treasure, National Museum; Philippine Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory; Registered Property, Municipality of Piagapo, Lanao del SurThe Darangen Epic is a spoken masterpiece passed on through generations of Maranaons. This epic is the Mindanao's counterpart of the Ramayana that presents the romance of heroes; struggle with the villains; wars, and monarchy. Written in the 14th century, the Darangen Epic commences with the early leaders of Mindanao and the adventures of Bantugan. It also tells the life and romance of Princess Gandingan. The epic provides insights on early forms of government, culture, arts, mucis, and metal work in the province of Lanao. It is inscribed in UNESCO World Heritage List as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity."

Declared as a National Cultural Treasure by virtue of National Museum Declaration No. 01-2002

The Darangen is an ancient epic song that encompasses a wealth of knowledge of the Maranao people who live in the Lake Lanao region of Mindanao. This southernmost island of the Philippine archipelago is the traditional homeland of the Maranao, one of the country’s three main Muslim groups. Comprising 17 cycles and a total of 72,000 lines, the Darangen celebrates episodes from Maranao history and the tribulations of mythical heroes. In addition to having a compelling narrative content, the epic explores the underlying themes of life and death, courtship, love and politics through symbol, metaphor, irony and satire. The Darangen also encodes customary law, standards of social and ethical behaviour, notions of aesthetic beauty, and social values specific to the Maranao. To this day, elders refer to this time-honoured text in the administration of customary law. Meaning literally “to narrate in song”, the Darangen existed before the Islamization of the Philippines in the fourteenth century and is part of a wider epic culture connected to early Sanskrit traditions extending through most of Mindanao. Though the Darangen has been largely transmitted orally, parts of the epic have been recorded in manuscripts using an ancient writing system based on the Arabic script. Specialized female and male performers sing the Darangen during wedding celebrations that typically last several nights. Performers must possess a prodigious memory, improvisational skills, poetic imagination, knowledge of customary law and genealogy, a flawless and elegant vocal technique, and the ability to engage an audience during long hours of performance. Music and dance sometimes accompany the chanting. Nowadays, the Darangen is less frequently performed owing in part to its rich vocabulary and archaic linguistic forms, which can only be understood by practitioners, elders and scholars. Indeed, the growing tendency to embrace mainstream Filipino lifestyles may represent a threat to the survival of this ancient epic. (Source: http://www.unesco.org/)

Built in early 1970s, the construction of kutas such as this was prevalent during this period, usually having large sliding wooden windows allowing air to pass through easily. However, the minds behind the design of the Cairan House and its interiors asserted their Meranao identity. Currently, the Kota serves as the meeting place for social gatherings and other activities by Sultans and Datus.

DECLARING THE TOROGAN HOUSE IN BUADI AMITO, POMPONGAN-A-MARANTAO, MARAWI CITY, AS A NATIONAL HISTORICAL LANDMARK.

WHEREAS, Articles 14, 15, and 16 of Section 14 of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines states, respectively, that: “The State shall foster the preservation, enrichment, and dynamic evolution of a Filipino national culture…; The State shall conserve, promote, and popularize the nation’s historical and cultural heritage and resources, as well as artistic creations; All the country’s artistic and historic wealth constitutes the cultural treasure of the nation and shall be under the protection of the State which may regulate its disposition;”
WHEREAS, Section 4 of Presidential Decree No. 260, dated August 1, 1973, specifically vested the National Historical Commission, now the National Historical Institute, the power to declare historical and cultural sites and edifices as National Shrines, Monuments, and/or Landmarks;
WHEREAS, the National Historical Institute, a cultural agency, now an affiliated institution of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts created by virtue of Republic Act No. 7356, is mandated the conserve and promote the historical and cultural heritage of the country, and is, therefore, charged with the identification, maintenance and care of historical shrines, monuments, and landmarks, and the development of historical sites and structures that may be declared as National Shrines, Monuments, and Landmarks;
WHEREAS, Maranao culture has emerged into the modern world with the basic character of its people and society better-preserved than any other Muslim ethnolinguistic group not only because of the physical isolation of the Lanao highland, but also of the Maranao desire to preserve the features of their unique cultural and social structures;
WHEREAS, the torogan house is an indigenous architectural and cultural heritage of the people of Mindanao, especially Maranao Muslim; an expression of social and political conditions since only the highest holder of the major descent line within the community is allowed to build one of large proportions, the size and okir carvings being symbols of his rank, status, and power; and an embodiment of the social, political, religious, economic and cultural traditions because aside from being a royal house, it is a multi-purpose structure which serves as a social hall during community gatherings like weddings, kandato (coronation of datus), kambaye (coronation of princesses), and the death of a member of the royal clan, and a meeting hall when the sultan or datu calls for conferences and political discussions or the settlement of legal and family disputes;
WHEREAS, the torogan house in Buadi Amito, Pompongan-a-Marantao, Marawi City was built by Datu Pimbarat between 1886 and 1887; passed on to his son Datu Tocalo Pimbarat when he became the datu upon his father’s death; and on to Hadja Sinab Datu Tocalo, the youngest surviving daughter of Daty Tocalo Pimbarat;
WHEREAS, the said torogan house is one of the very few existing torogan house in Mindanao, distinctively unique with its huge, elaborately carved panolong, wall sidings, and beams of floral and naga okir designs, of which only organic paints which produced vivid colors were used; steep-pitched roof; and huge posts whose diameters are too large they cannot be embraced with the human arms, and which are set upon stones so that when there is an earthquake , they rock with the stones;
WHEREAS, to recreate or reconstruct a torogan house such as this would be nearly impossible, as the organic paints, the wide planks of hardwood, and the logs of very large diameters would be difficult to obtain at present times;
WHEREAS, the torogan house built by Datu Pimbarat has badly deteriorated and is in need of immediate conservation measures and careful restoration procedures to bring it back to its former magnificence and glory;
NOW THEREFORE, the National Historical Institute, by virtue of the powers vested in it by Presidential Decree No. 260, dated August 1, 1978, as amended by Presidential Decree No. 1505, dated June 11, 1978, hereby declares the Torogan House in Buadi Amito, Pompongan-a-Marantao, Marawi City, as a National Historical Landmark.

APPROVED: April 6, 1993

Kawayan Torogan – the majestic torogan of the Maranao of Lanao del Sur is the prime example of the architectural genius of Filipinos as well as the traditional skills embodying intangible heritage, and can stand with the best ethnic architecture in Southeast Asia.

The torogan house in Amito, Marantao is an example of the Maranao royal house, the ancestral house of the highest title holder of the major descent line in a community, where Maranao okir motifs developed and found their fullest expresion. The Torogan has thus become an architectural symbol of aristocracy and prestige, and the repository of the highest and best attainment in the arts of the community.

The Amito torogan is built on posts, numbering more than twenty, and which made up of thick tree stumps resting on pieces of rocks, placed on the earth. In spite of the dilapidated condition of the house, its basic frame still remains. The house is made up of a main level raised above the earth, made up of cross beams and wooden posts and its walls made up of wooden panels. The cross beams and the vertical posts are carved with okir motifs done with floral and naga (serpent) designs. The roof beams, especially the main roof girt, are likewise carved with okir and original color of the motifs still stand out vivid and clear as in the shades and tints of red, yellow and green.

The roof is steeply pitched and made up of galvanized iron sheets. The wide sloping roof provides ample shade to the house.

The front part of the torogan had 6'' x 2 meters windows, and round vents incised with okir.

Interesting are the okir motifs carved in the beams and posts for no two are the same. This is also in the panolongs or beams carved decoratively and wide , with the different designs of naga and foliate patterns. The panolongs numbering seven are found in the front wall of the house. These are actually floor girders which extend out and develop into beautifully carved okir ensembles.

The torogan used to have a gibon or separate room for the datu's youngest daughter. The gibon was purposely constructed by the late owner, Datu Tocalo Pimbarat, near the rear of the house. This was for his younger daughter when all the three elder daughters had married. The gibon (5m x 10m) had one of its walls made of glass so that the datu could easily view the room from his beside which was just adjacent to the gibon. The gibon had one entrance at the front and an exit at the back near the kitchen. A beautifully decorated bed was inside, with a kolambo, embroidered with the sequins in okir design, hung above the bed.
The big mattress and pillows were decorated with libot or Maranao applique. The whole room was decorated with the chests and brass urns.

Sheik Makhdum Mosque

Sinasabi ng mga mananalaysay na ang Islam ay pinalakas sa Pilipinas ni Sheik Makhdum, isang misyonerong Arabe, unang lumunsad sa Tubig-Indangan, Simunul sa pulo ng Tawi-Tawi noong 1380. Dito niya ipinatayo ang kauna-unahang simbahang Muslim sa kapuluan ng Pilipinas na hangang sa kasalukuyan ay nakatayo bilang bahagi ng muling ipinagawang “Tahanan ni Allah.” Pinaniniwalaang ang orihinal na simbahan ay nagtagal ng humigit-kumulan sa 500 taon.

Pista ng Lami-lamihanLami-lamihan FestivalBARMMLamitan CityBasilanRegistered Property, City of Lamitan, BasilanLami-lamihan in Yakan literally means "merry-making" or a "joyous festivity". in the past, this grandiose event is usually held in a gathering of all Yakan chieftains or often a beautiful rice harvest, where all the dancing and music playing often takes place at the same time. The women of the tribe showcase their skill and technique in weaving colorful and intricate textiles which are turned into their evidently tight-fitting costumes from knee-down and their sleeves. The Lami-lamihan celebration starts as the ritual "meg palabo tuntungan" culminates. This is as performed by the elders of the tribes to foretell the fate of the upcoming year’s harvest. If the "tuntungan" (log) faces up, it assures a bountiful harvest, however, if facing down it may still cause a good reap but uncertainties will go with it.

Lami-lamihan Festival is held annually, showcasing the Yakan cultural heritage, artifacts and customs and traditions. It is being celebrated every April 26-29, but recently moved to June 26-27. It highlights the preservation, promotion and propagation of the Yakan cultural heritage, its customs and traditions, history, costumes and women textiles and other celebrations such as "megtimbang" (weighing of the child), "meggunting" (baptism), "megtammat" (graduation on quoran reading), and "megkawin" (wedding).

In the account written by Fr. Joseph Stoffel, about the “lami-lamihan”. He wrote that the town of Lamitan (now city) was named by the first Spaniard from Isabela, who explored the area. When they arrived, the Yakans were in their best costumes and were in a joyous mood. The explorers inquired the name of the place and the Yakan thought if they were asking what all the merry making was so they replied “lami-lamihan”. Thus, the Spaniards misunderstood the answer and called the place Lamitan.

The head of a host family, usually a village chief called ‘timuay’, plans the ritual system to express gratitude to the spirits. The rituals ensure harmony among family, clan and community members, as well as among the human, natural and spiritual worlds. They include asking the spirits for permission to gather materials from the forest, presenting coin offerings, inviting the spirits of the departed to feast, invoking spirits of water and land, and music and dance. Afterwards, participants dance on an elevated wooden structure called the ‘Buklog’ – a sacred and social space – which resonates with a sound believed to please the spirits. This is followed by a community dance marking the renewal of spiritual and social relationships within the community. Though the ritual system remains the community’s strongest unifying force, there are several social, political and economic threats that compromise its viability, notably the influx of other cultures into the Subanen’s traditional homeland, changes in family dynamics and economic constraints. Therefore, although the Subanen have developed highly adaptive mechanisms to ensure their culture survives, the Buklog is now regarded as highly vulnerable, facing several severe interrelated threats and constraints.

Noong Hunyo 1896, si Dr. Pio Valenzuela, kilalang kasapi ng Katipunan ay ipinadala sa Dapitan (ngayon ay isang Lungsod sa Zamboanga del Norte) kung saan ipinatapon si Dr. Jose Rizal. Ipinabatid niya sa bayani ang mga balak ng Katipunan subalit tinutulan nito ang isang sandatahang himagsikan sapagkat ito ay “mapaminsala at nagbubunga ng kamatayan.”
Ipinabatid din ni Valenzuela kay Rizal na binabalak ng mga manghihimagsik na siya ay itakas sa Hapon buhat sa Dapitan na lulan ng isang sasakyang-dagat. Tinanggihan ni Rizal ang alok at nagpayong “para sa kaligtasan ng bayan, hindi na kailangan ang balikan pa ang isang tao lamang.” Sinabi din ni Rizal na “ang mamatay at makalupig ay nakakasiya, subalit ang mamatay at malupig ay napakasakit.”
Pagkaraang tumigil ng magdamag sa Dapitan, si Valenzuela ay nagbalik sa Maynila at iniulat kay Bonifacio at sa iba pang mga pinuno ng Katipunan ang kinahinatnan ng kanyang misyon.

Fort Pilar was founded as the southern outpost of Spanish Domain under the supervision of Melchor de Vera in 1635. Since then, it has a significant history beginning with an attack by the Dutch in 1646. Later, in 1663, the troops stationed at this fort abandoned their post to help other troops against the Chinese pirates who invaded Intramuros. Though a part of the fort was destroyed by the King of Bulig, Dalisi and his 3,000 Moros in 1720, it still saw the end of the Spanish Colonial Period. In 1889, the Americans under General J.C. Bates took over the administration of the fort but it was subsequently seized by the Japanese during World War II. In 1946, administration of the fort was eventually turned over to the Philippines. At present, Fort Pilar functions as a National Museum Branch housing several galleries on Fauna, Archaeology and Ethnography of the region.

It was established during the expansion of the town under the Spanish regime and was named as “Plaza de Don Juan de Salcedo” (Navarro 1987) after the last known Spanish conquistador of the 16th century (Morga 2004).

Two years after the end of Pershing’s governorship in 1915 during the American period, the plaza was renamed to “Plaza Pershing”, as a historic reminder and gratitude of the people to his notable services to the City of Zamboanga (Navarro 1987). Fortunately, the structures were spared from destruction during World War II. The plaza’s former glory was then revived through the City Strategic Development program of 2011 where beautification, improvement and rehabilitation was initiated.

Located in the eastern portion of Misamis Oriental and roughly a 2-hour drive from Cagayan de Oro is the historical haven of North Poblacion in the Municipality of Medina where the Pelaez Ancestral House can be found standing still. This house had stood witness to the diverse political and historical lives of two of the famous bygone personalities in the politics arena in the locality and in the country as well – Don Gregorio A. Pelaez, Sr. (first Governor of Misamis Oriental) and his son, Emmanuel N. Pelaez, Sr. (elected Vice President of the Philippines in 1961 under the Diosdado Macapagal Administration). When people ask for direction, the local townsfolk refer to the house as the "Pelaez White House" because of the walls that are washed in white.

History
The use of this house has seen various transformations through the different meanings that correspond to the changes of time. In the early times, the house was usually associated with Gregorio A. Pelaez, Sr. who was the paramount political icon of Misamis Oriental (1926-1931 and 1938-1940) being the very first governor of the province back in the time when Misamis Oriental was officially separated from Misamis Occidental by Republic Act No. 3777 on 28 November 1939. Later on, another Pelaez entered the political arena of the Philippines – Emmanuel N. Pelaez, Sr., son of Gregorio A. Pelaez. Emmanuel Pelaez became the first Mindanawon elected in the Vice-Presidency position in the Philippines.

The Vega Ancestral House is one of the 1st Transition Bahay na Bato inspired houses that has been standing through times and witnessed the different colonial periods of the Philippines in its 200 (estimated) years of existence. Sculpted wooden atlases are perhaps the most interesting feature of this house located in Poblacion, Balingasag, Misamis Oriental.

History
In the 1800s, a young merchant from San Nicolas in Cebu by the name of Ignacio Juan Vega settled in Northern Mindanao at a small town, then named Galas, today Balingasag. It was through Vega that the Cebuano devotion to the Sto. Niño was introduced to the townsfolk of Balingasag. Aside from this cultural practice he imparted, he also left behind a heritage house that is considered these days as one of the important landmarks that can be found in Misamis Oriental.

Burol ng SalcedoSalcedo HillRegion XLaguindinganMisamis OrientalRegistered Property, Province of Misamis OrientalSalcedo Hill is named after the first mayor of the Municipality of Laguindiingan in the person of the late Glicerio Salcedo. It is the site of the former municipal hall. From the hill, one can view the Laguindingan airport and other neighbouring municipalities. When Laguindingan became a town in July 12, 1963, the enchanted balete tree at the top of the hill guided hundreds of fishermen safely to their places of origin and destination. The Salcedo hill is the replica of the History of Laguindingan, from a small less powerful municipality to a now developing and stunning municipality. The historical site is being planned to be developed and amenities are to be constructed here, but at the same time preserving its natural and enchanting beauty.

The Philippine independent church was the first religious order established by the early community. The religious presence was evidenced by the chapel erected on this highest promontory now known as Salcedo hill. The cross still stands today the silent witness of the establishment of now growing town.

It is also on this site where the ruins of the first and old Municipal Hall still clearly could be seen. This essential piece is planned to be developed as a major tourist destination site. In fact, it is in this place that the proposed museum is planned to be built as well.

Kapilya ng Berhen De Los RemediosBerhen De Los Remedios ChapelBirhen De Los RemediosRegion XLaguindinganMisamis OrientalRegistered Property, Province of Misamis OrientalIt is located at Barangay Moog, Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental.

According to local Catholic devotees, long time ago, a thirsty sick old woman asked for a water from a fisherman. He immediately went home to get some water to drink but when he came back, he saw the woman seated on the big rock carrying a baby, believed to be Virgin Mary, and suddenly disappeared. From then, the locals called the place "Berhen sa Moog” and they built a chapel. On the other hand, devotees of this Berhen sa Moog later named the place Berhen De Los Remedios, believing that the smail spring below the big rock is miraculous and can heal different disease and illness.

Right now, locals have developed the place and it is now already open to the public. Moog resort has already small cottages for guests which can be rented for 100-500 pesos, without entrance or corkage fees. For parking areas may be availed for donations.

The place exhibits a peaceful and relaxing environment. It is also a perfect place to sight a plane ready for landing since it is near to Laguindingan Airport.

Going to Berhen to Berhen De Los Remedios is now easy and accessible because the road is already developed leading to the area. Getting to the shrine is accessible since it is near Laguindingan International Airport.

The historical significance of Berhen De Los Remedios reflected the religious aspect of Laguindingan, especially Barangay Moog and the genuine faith of the people of Laguindingan.

Stories abound about the port being the silent protector of the inhabitants against pirate attacks and Moro marauders. It was said the tower was used to warn people of the impending danger and enemies.

The name of its ruins is totally known as Cuta sa Punta Sulawan and is owned by Ayala Corporation. The ruins were constructed on top of the limestone cliff overlooking the Macalajar and Iligan Bays.

The structure was made of dressed coral stones bonded with mortar. It has a rectangular formation and the remains of the walls have an average thickness of 70-80 cm with a maximum height of 2-25 m. The area has a dimension 0? 9m-5.5m.

Totally, the Cuta sa Punta Sulawan or much known now as Moog Old Spanish Fort had surely drawn the interest of local sight seers because of the stunning view sunrise that could be enjoyed on the site with its surrounding landscape. The presence of this Old Spanish Fort at Punta Sulawan manifest the claim that before the settlers came is Laguindingan, the place was the hideout of robbers, pirates and bandoleros because of the once thick forest cover of the Municipality. The fort is not yet touched for restoration but the owner which is the Ayala Corporation is planning to restore it and make it as one of the historical site of Laguindingan.

These heritage structures are the remains of a town that was destroyed by eruption of Mt. Vulcan on May 13, 1871. In this catastrophic event, the entire town of Bonbon in Catarman was wiped out, and caused the sinking of a parcel of land where a cemetery is located.

The Old Bonbon or Guiob Church Ruins in Barangay Bonbon, Municipality of Catarman are the remains of massive walls and columns of coral stone blocks that looked like a fortress which remain to date a beautiful structure and physical reminder of a catastrophic past. The Old Bonbon Church Ruin and the complex of ruins including a bell tower, old convent, and foundations of old houses are the remaining structures that survived the disastrous eruption of Mt. Vulcan.

The Camiguin Archaeological Sites are significant cultural and historical assemblage of historic structures in Mindanao. The sites interpret major phases of early history of the region and represent the diverse cultures that have shaped the history of Camiguin and Northen Mindanao.

The Immaculate Conception Church (Spanish: Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Immaculada Concepción de María) is a Baroque church located in Poblacion, Upper Jasaan in Misamis Oriental, Philippines. It was declared by the National Museum as a National Cultural Treasure in Northern Mindanao due to its artistic design and cultural values.

History
The first church of Jasaan was built out of lime from 1723 to 1830 under the supervision of Fr. Ramos Cabas, parish priest in sitio Kabitaugan in barangay Aplaya. The first church is currently a ruins and a "cotta" or fortification is visible on the low hill near the highway. In 1859, Jasaan became the base for evangelical activities among the Manobos in Bukidnon. From Jasaan, missionaries fanned out to areas in Bukidnon now known as Malitbog, Siloo, San Luis, Linabo and Sumilao. In 1887, Father Juan Herras, a Jesuit, began the construction of the present Immaculate Conception Church. Father Gregorio Parache, S.J., was the parish priest of Jasaan at that time. It aims to mimic the famous San Ignacio Church of Intramuros in Manila.

_____
The church of Jasaan falls under Barn Style Baroque with originally a tri-partite partition. It spans 150 ft long and 60 ft wide. The brick wall on all sides about 20 ft high and almost 4 ft thick.The portal area leads to two semi-arched openings to the choir loft area. Vertical articulation is rendered through the shallow piers which divide the areas into three. It is further squeezed to the narrow central portion of the facade. The church is flanked by square towers to a level above the apex of the pediment. Significant church portions includes the original brick paving, neo-Gothic retablo, and ceiling woodwork (reminiscent of basket weave).
The original facade of the church has been modified after a series of renovations. The original altar of the church has been moved backward to allow a larger area for the faithful inside the church building. The original sacristy has been moved to the side.
The church has two bell towers containing 4 bells in totality. The oldest of the four bells is dated 1807 while the largest is cast "Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepcion de Jasaan Año 1854." The old church bells of the Immaculate Conception Church of Jasaan (four of them, excluding the one that was transferred to San Agustin Cathedral at Cagayan de Oro) bore these inscriptions around its outer rim: "Para El Pueblo de Jasaan 1860".
Due to its cultural and historical value, the National Museum declared the Immaculate Conception Parish Church a National Cultural Treasure on July 31, 2001.

Bantayang Moro ng GuinsilibanGuinsiliban Moro Watch TowerKuta; Moro Watch TowerRegion XGuinsilibanCamiguinRegistered Property, Province of CamiguinIt is one of the oldest structures built during the Spanish time in the province of Camiguin. The fortress protected the townspeople of Guinsiliban. During the surprise Moro raids, upon hearing the warning signals (the blowing of the tambuli shells), the people hid within the walls of the "kuta."
There were no concrete records as to the date if the construction of the Moro Watch Tower. In the study of Neri (2010), he stated that the tower of Guinsiliban was probably built by the Recollect missionaries who came from the main land or the neighboring islands of Visayas, because of the technique and materials used. Mark Aguinman (a local researcher), as cited by Lluch (2018) in his article Surfacing the Untold Stories of Camiguin Island, explained that the tower was part of a larger structure as what was described by locals who have seen the old "kota" (fort) before the construction and expansion of the present day Gabaldon Building (Guinsiliban Central School).
Aguiman and Lluch (2018) both agree that the tower could have been built with two purposes; as part of a religious temple (as a church) or part of the structure and fortress to protect the people from pirate raids as locals call the place "kota."

Text of the marker: “Don Jose Oyanguren y Cruz of Guipuzcoa, Spain, sailed to the mouth of Davao River on a mission of conquest. Oyanguren had intended to wage war from his flotilla on the Muslim settlement upstream, but Datu Bago’s fort that fiercely guarded the river bend foiled this plan. Late in 1848, Oyanguren changed his course of action and disembarked his force of 70 fighting volunteers on this spot. Helped by natives of Samal under Datu Masandin, Oyanguren constructed a dike in order to place his cannons on land and in advantaged position for battle. On June 29, 1848, the feast day of St. Peter, Oyanguren engaged Datu Bago’s forces in the decisive battle for the control of the Davao settlement. Victory went to Oyanguren who with a Recollect Priest began the work of establishing the first community in Davao. A small chapel was built and in thanksgiving, Oyanguren dedicated this settlement to St. Peter who remains the patron saint of Davao”.

Text of the marker: “Extending some 350 meters from this marker was the old Davao settlement. As a community under Datu Bago, the houses were close to the banks of the Davao river bed where now stands the Bolton Bridge. The houses were burned when Oyanguren succeeded in driving away Datu Bago and his followers in their final battle on June 29, 1848. The new Christian settlers at first established their community in the same Area, but floods often inundated the settlement so that in 1861 the authorities ordered the relocation of the community to higher grounds that centered on the present site of the Davao Cathedral. An old relief map of 1862 shows the old Davao settlement”.

Text of the Marker: In this vicinity, the longest-fought encounter took place between troops of the American liberation Forces and the Japanese Imperial Forces. Characterized mainly by the “Banzai” night attacks by the Japanese forces, the American Liberators had to carry the brunt of fighting the mostly unseen enemy. While some American units were able to proceed upwards in Tagurano, Tugbok and Riverside at Calinan, the fighting in Mintal continued. Unseen like moles in their secret tunnel, the Japanese fighting men relentlessly kept the American at bay. Despite the uneasy situation Gen. Douglas MacArthur together with Gen. Joseph Stillwell and Gen. Robert Eichelberger, guided by Gen. Roscoe Woodruff, CG of the 24th Division which carried out the Liberation of Davao, visited this place June 6, 1945 to see for themselves what made the Japanese resistance endure for so long. Numerous tunnels discovered finally were blasted and today even the location of some tunnels can only be guessed. Col. Yamada of the Japanese Imperial Army who headed the defense of Mintal and some of his men, were able to escape but later surrendered after the war. Col. Yamada who survived that war and repatriated to Japan, later returned to Davao and had a common grave made at the cemetery in Mintal for his fallen men. He visits Davao every now and then to pay homage in their grave at the Mintal Cemetery.

T'Boli Kesiyanan (Mga Ritwal sa Kasal)T’Boli Kesiyanan (Marriage Rituals)Region XIISouth CotabatoPhilippine Intangible Cultural Heritage InventoryKesiyanan or marriage is a three-stage process for the T’bolis: childhood, puberty and adolescence. It is pre-arranged by the parents and contracted at any age (even after childbirth). Betrothals can be a result of a child’s sickness, where a certain ritual determines if the child is banahung (in need of a life-partner). If the ritual determines so, the parents seek a spouse of suitable age, background and economic standing. When they find a partner, a piece of the chosen child’s body adornment is borrowed, and then brought to the sick child, whom it is suspended and then struck. After the recovery, the celebration of the first marriage ceremony ensues. (Source: https://aboutphilippines.ph/documents-etc/Tboli-Lake-Sebu-%20Mindanao.pdf)

Alamat ng Ilog OjotLegend of Ojot RIverRegion XIIIEsperanzaAgusan del SurRegistered Property, Municipality of Esperanza, Agusan del SurBased on their ancestors, the native people choose to live beside the river in order to have an easy livelihood. The time of Datu Lingcuban, the river had no names to be called until during the abundance of harvest of the upland rice. For the period of the harvest the natives gathered to help, while the women who were used to “bayo” or milled the harvested rice, threw the hay stock which locally called “ojot” in the river. Since then, native people used to call the river “ojot” due the continuous throwing of hay stock in the river during harvest period.
Time passed, the native people utilized the river as holy and used only for drinking, laundry and for fishing. They only used “timba” or pail to get enough water in the river to avoid any contaminants that cause the river polluted. The migrants or lowlander were not allowed to enter in their area because the native scared that they might be made them slaves.
Illegal fishing such as poison from plants “buli”, electric fishing and using dynamites were prohibited in the river or else your dead by cutting your head off.
The bearers of this story were Datu Lingcuban and passed to the six generation our Key Informant “Datu Kalinti” who was the former Sangguniang bayan of Esperanza and the Indigenous People Mandatory Representative (IPMR) of Brgy. Remedios. And some other Datus in various places in the same tribe knew the story very well. Accordingly, the story was written by Father Kapalia and Grego Onteveros and was kept in the museum of Butuan City. The paper of the story is not cleared anymore and can’t be able to read because it was kept for over a years.
Until 1998, the river could no longer be clean, potable to drink and protected because even an authorized person like police and soldiers (based on the key informants) were the one who did the illegal fishing like deceasing the shrimp that made the river polluted.

Pangkasal na Larawan ng ManhupitanManhupitan Wedding PortraitPaintingRegion XIIIEsperanzaAgusan del SurRegistered Property, Municipality of Esperanza, Agusan del SurIt was a wedding portrait of Datu Manhupitan Ampidal Serona Manpatilan and Bae Nayhupitan Maria Sambili Manpatilan.
Datu Manhupitan is one of the most respected tribal leaders in the Higaonon Tribe history. He was the 2nd eldest son of Datu Manpatilan. When Datu Mansaulog died; his older brother, Datu Manhupitan became the Tribal Chieftain of the tribe until he died on May 1995.
The portrait was really a work of art since the image of Datu Manhupitan and Bae Nayhupitan was 100% realistically captured trough hand-painting.
This painting serves as memorabilia to the owners since they have asked the painter to paint them at the time when they came back in Salug from hiding in the jungle. They were hiding because it was when the Manpatilan Family was considered as wanted persons in the government because they were allegedly accused of a crime against a logging company owned by a man called Tirador.
The painting was soaked in the water for how many times during flood, unbelievably the painting stayed in fair condition. The owner believed that the painting is protected by a spiritual or mythical being.
It was the man in the picture, Datu Manhupitan, who was eager to have them painted as a couple because he wanted to have a wedding portrait of him wearing an American suit and his wife on a wedding gown. So when he heard that a pastor from the Sabadista church in Salug was also a painter, he asked him right away to paint them. When the other family members learned about it, they have also asked the painter to paint them as well. Even the Patriarch of the Manpatilan Brothers, Datu Manpatilan had himself painted by the artist too.

The falls was the only source of drinking water during that time. Some of the people are afraid to be in that place because they might faced the “Enchanted Pythons” that roamed there. And during full moon, the “baksan” will appear and play with the “Golden Ball” also called “trabongko” in Higaonon Tribe. According to them, the “trabongko’s” glow is like that of a high-powered light bulb, and due of its brightness the light can be seen also in the neighboring Barangays.
And so the Datus made a decision to make a ritual called “pamadlong”. These form of ritual will pled the Enchanted Pythons and other Super Natural Beings not to harm the residents of the said area. A day after they made a ritual, the “baksan and trabongko” other Super Natural Beings are not seen or even felt by the residents.

Similar finds in Central Philippines have yielded similar burials but with the difference that all these were found in caves along the islands coasts.
3) The third significant feature of the stratified sites are the tremendous amounts of trade high-fired ceramics coming from China, Cambodia, Thailand and other southeast Asian countries were also recovered, as well as distinctive white stamped pottery from Thailand; and Persian glassware, suggesting prehistoric links as far as the Middle East.
There were other notable discoveries like the Ivory Seal and the Silver Paleograph. Gold and tools for gold processing of ornaments have also been recovered from a village site Over a hundred clay crucibles and tools for the processing of gold items were discovered in the area, leading to the conclusion that an extensive gold ornaments industry was located in these areas as far back as a thousand years ago. Altogether, these data demonstrate that Butuan was a thriving international trading port a thousand years ago. This site has a tremendous historical impact in the Asian region.

Communication occurred among these groups only during the trade. Access to external trade has been the primary basis of
social stratification among them (Spoehr 1973).

In the archeological survey conducted, Alexander Spoehr together with Rodolfo "Cabonegro" Navarro, identified the Bungiao Rock Shelter and Limpapa Caves as the earliest settlement sites of the Subanun in Zamboanga. Archeological finds such as human and animal bones and
remains, as well as their distribution patterns, were clear evidence that these sites were used as temporary indigenous habitats before Subanun's engagement in trading with Samals and the introduction of trade ceramics from China and other Southeast Asian countries. Moreover, other indications suggest that these natural cavities were used as burial sites by
the Subanuns.

Bolo Making PracticeMetallurgy (Bolo, Pira, Barung, Hilamon)Region IXIsabela CityHighly Urbanized CityRegistered Property, City of Isabela, BasilanKnife nowadays plays an important role in the society wherein the practice was transferred from one generation to the next. It started from Inni, our elder or ancestor; they share and teach the skills to 13-20 year old male family members.

At the age of 13 years old, they start observing and this is called birador. When they reached 17 years old they are given the chance to hammer or magtutukul (hammering) until they reached 20 years old where they will now be considered as panday or blacksmith.

Terremoto FestivalTerremotto (The Peacemaker)Region IXIsabela CityHighly Urbanized CityRegistered Property, City of Isabela, BasilanThe Prelature of Isabela Basilan celebrates its feast on July 08 because it was a time when the original image was enthroned and blessed inside the Cathedral. The faithful of Isabela commemorates the Terremoto after Sta. Isabel’s feast day (8 July), with a nine-day novena beginning on 12 September and ending on 21 September. The festivities culminate with a fluvial procession in the waters of Isabela fronting Malamawi Island.

Queen Elizabeth (Isabel) died on 4 July 1336 and was buried at Coimbra. She was 65. Miracle upon miracle has been reported at her tomb. His Holiness Pope Urban VIII canonized St. Elizabeth de Portugal on Holy Trinity Sunday, 25 May 1625. Reposed at the Church of St. Claire in Coimbra, her body remains incorrupt, still beautiful and serene.

Accordingly, the first statue of Sta. Isabel de Portugal was brought to Basilan from Spain by Fr. Maximo Cerezo, CMF. It is said that bandits stole the ivory statue and hid it in the cave below the Kumalarang falls in Matarling, lantawan. Many parishioners have organized search missions to locate the stolen statue, but none has met with success. The parish priest of Matarling himself, Fr. Nilo Laput, a diocesan priest, had explored the cave in hopes of finding it, but he, too, did not find it. Thus, a replica of the statue from Spain is installed in the Cathedral.

Sta. Isabel de Portugal figures in one of the most enduring legends in Basilan. On 21 September 1897, Basilan was hit by an earthquake which was said to have triggered as tsunami (Rodriguez 1995, 20). Witnesses said that the big waves were rushing to the shores of Isabela when a beautiful long-haired lady in a white gown and a red cape appeared on the hill where the fort was located (the site of the present Provincial Capitol). As she turned towards the sea, she made a gesture of pushing the waves away from the shore. The waves the subsided causing little damage to the town even as the water had risen all the way up to where the lady was standing. Then, the lady vanished. When the people trooped to the church to give thanks, they discovered to their amazement that the hemline of Sta. Isabel’s robe were wet and muddy. Since then, people have been offering up thanksgiving prayers in honor of Sta. Isabel for the Miracle of Life. The yearly celebration, called Terremoto, has been institutionalized by the Church of Isabela.

Rizal RotundaRotunda RizalRegion XCalambaMisamis OccidentalRegistered Property, Municipality of Calamba, Misamis OccidentalRizal Rotunda divides four (4) poblacion barangays, it being at the heart of the
town. One becomes aware that he is already in Calamba town proper. Rizal Rotunda commands four road directions: 1) One road, the national highway, points to the municipality of Plaridel, the mother town and a chief port, on the eastern portion; 2) The shorter route to Oroquieta City, the Mountain Road built by the American Government as the national highway during the Commonwealth era, on the southern part of town; 3) The north-bound road connects Calamba to the town of Baliangao, Misamis Occidental; and 4) Going
west is the road to Dipolog City, the capital of the Province of Zamboanga del Norte.

As a prominent landmark, the general public takes much pride and interest in its existence. This is due to the fact that Dr. Jose Rizal made Calamba, that was called that time as Sitio Solinog (part of Plaridel town), his favorite place of rest while in route to Plaridel town proper and eventually to the towns of Oroquieta, Jimenez and Misamis to attend his patients. The testimony of Mercedes Rillas Lumasag, the youngest daughter of Gregorio Lumasag, shed light as to what really was Dr. Jose Rizal's purpose in going to Plaridel town.
It was learned that Gregorio Lumasag was one of Rizal's pupils whose mother's eyes Dr. Rizal, as an ophthalmologist, operated for cataract illness.

This was collaborated by the tale of Rufina Alcasar Banuelos, who actually saw Dr. Jose Rizal made a stopover in Sitio Solinog, for a short rest along with his horse. By family tradition, such a nostalgic revelation was handed down by the late Rufina Banuelos who was already 115 years old at that time, to her grandson, former Brgy. Captain Jose Banuelos of Brgy. Calaran, Calamba, In the nick of time Jose Banuelos orally published this piece of relevant information in concurrence with the testimony of Mercedes Lumasag.

The construction of Rizal Rotunda was made possible through the effort of a group of tennis players in Calamba known as the Calamba Tigers Club. Headed by Dr. Emiliano Q. Herrera, its President, the group made an audience with the Municipal Mayor Hon. Angelo Neri to seek permission and approval with regards to the Club's plan of erecting a monument of Dr. Jose Rizal here in Calamba. The original plan conceived by the Tigers Club was to create the Rizal monument in front of the municipal building, but the municipality has no town plaza and the municipal ground is the only place for big gatherings, thus the club's plan was set aside. However Mayor Angelo Neri, being also a member of the Tigers Club, by way of suggestion, directed the group to build the Rizal monument at the center of the intersection of the four roads, dividing the 4 poblacion barangays.

The unveiling of the commemorative marker was conducted on December 30, 1954 during the occasion of the 58th Rizal Day Celebration.

Today, the Rizal Rotunda with Dr. Jose P Rizal's preeminent monument at the centre is the most recognizable landmark in Calamba, Misamis Occidental and perhaps the only monument of the national hero erected in a rotunda instead of the usual composition of having it stand of a town plaza.
Magsaysay RotundaRotunda MagsaysayRegion XCalambaMisamis OccidentalRegistered Property, Municipality of Calamba, Misamis OccidentalThe idea of putting up a second Rotunda was initiated by a brotherhood
organization in Calamba known as the EVERLASTING HAPPINESS ASSOCIATION (ELHA). Reassessing what a small group can achieve and for want of a memento of success that is worth remembering, the association through its President, Mr. Pedro Clapano, Sr. and his five (5) fellow pioneers namely; Alejo Medequiso, Jose Romanillos, Ponciano Postanes, Arsenio Taclob and Faustino Chapano decided to undertake a project that would cater to the ELHA's need of a meeting place and a venue for gatherings.

This took place during the administration of Mayor Lorenzo de Guzman.
Considering that the matter at hand is imbued with national interest, Mayor de Guzman and ELHA President Pedro Clapano went to Manila and made audience with the then Senator Genaro Magsaysay, brother of President Ramon Magsaysay, soliciting national support for the creation of the monument of the late President Ramon del Fierro Magsaysay in Calamba, Misamis Occidental.

The objective of building up the Magsaysay Rotunda is to give honour and respect to the great man who has been known by the masses for his honesty and humbleness. His untimely death only brought him more closer to the heart of the people. Thus he was posthumously called the "Idol of the Masses".

The men behind the construction of the Magsaysay monument were greatly
impressed by his courage, bravery and gallantry idolizing him highly like a hero. It should be remembered that way back in the 1950s, Magsaysay Rotunda, as the town's vital landmark already existed as a crossing where vehicles used to stop over. In 1960, Magsaysay Rotunda was utilized as a center for night gatherings like "bayle", purposely to raise funds for the construction of the perimeter line and chairs for a rotunda. All of these endeavours were initiated by the pioneering "Magic 6" of the ELHA.

Up to this time, the Magsaysay Rotunda's integrity of purpose was kept alive all the time by the townspeople. Quite visible between the Southwestern Poblacion and Northern Poblacion and a necessary landmark connecting the Municipalities of Calamba and Baliangao, Misamis Occidental. It also provides the alternative road going to Dipolog, the capital city of the Province of Zamboanga del Norte.

Blaan BasketryRegion XISaranganiDavao OccidentalRegistered Property, Municipality of Sarangani, Davao OccidentalBasket weaving using nito vine is a type of weaving that is evident in Sarangani. Blaan weavers are able to create and form a variety of wonderful crafts out of these nito vines and strands, such as table decorations like food trays and placemats, wooden nito hats, bags, containers, coin purses, wooden flower vases, and many other forms.

There are mainly two materials used in the making of nito products. The first material is the most important and the most used, which is the nito vine. Nito is a kind of low vine that can be seen in some forests. It can be found clinging on some trees and are then gathered to be exposed to sunlight. These vines are usually thin in size but are long. These are then bundled together when already dried and ready for weaving. The second material used in weaving are flat wooden strips or the nito strands. These wooden strips resemble the thread we use in sewing clothes, garments, etc. These strands are usually thin and light. These strips are the ones that the weavers tie to knot and interlace the nito vines. These are very important materials because they hold the vines together.

After the nito has been gathered, it must be exposed to sunlight to be dried. Nito, unlike other products, do not need special treatments like putting dye on it to enhance and give it color. Creating nito products do not need to be colorful because its color is supposed to be natural. The natural brown color should be the output of a finished nito product. Then, if the vines are dry, they are again gathered to be bundled before cleaning. After the vines are dried, they are already gathered to be cleaned. In the process of cleaning, a single nito vine's outer layer is scraped with the use of a knife of a cutter. It is cleaned because the part of the nito vine used in the weaving process is the inner layer. Usually, the outer part is dark in color and after removing all of it, the cleaned vine is much lighter in color (light brown). Cleaning the vines should be properly done because it is unpleasant to see the remaining outer layer and so that the color is even and well-presented. Also, the vines are also scraped well to remove those excess materials such as some thorns or small points attached to the vine, and so the width of the nito vine is even.

The material that is used in weaving that is like the thread in sewing is the wooden nito strip. Thin in shape, these are also taken from the nito vines which are cut by a knife or a cutter. It should be thin enough so that it can fit in between the spaces of nito vines in the weaving proper. They should be very long in order to weave nito vines manually because a lot of them is going to be used for big nito products such as the nito baskets. After the nito vines are cleaned and nito strands are gathered, one can start the weaving process. The difficulty of making a nito product using nito weaving depends on the product the weaver will do.

Dancers skillfully manipulate apir, or fans, which represent the winds that prove to be auspicious. Sangir performs Singkil combined with Palandago, a dance portraying two males fighting over the love of the princess.

The dance is usually performed by both females and males. Performing this combined dance needs at least four bamboo poles or light wooden poles, three yards long and about two inches in diameter, and two pieces of board about ten and a half feet long and two inches thick where the poles are laid. Dancers are dressed in typical Sangir costume. The female holds an open fan in each hand and the male holds a brightly colored piece of cloth or handkerchief by the corner in each hand which he can then easily wave or snap back and forth. During the Palandago, another male appears in the scene, and this time both males are holding a sword, or a kris, and performs a fighting dance act.

During Palandago, the musical instrument is kulintang played at 4/4 time, but for the whole duration of Singkil, the musical accompaniment is unnecessary. The clapping of the bamboo poles furnishes the rhythm. It is in 4/4 time with counting one, two, three, and (silent four); and one, two, three, and (silent four); and one, two, three" to a measure.

Then on March 4, 1904, Dipolog was reverted into a barrio of Dapitan to the dismay of its residents. In 1912, the Governor of the then Department of Mindanao and Sulu, John J. Pershing, granted the petition seeking to reorganize Dipolog into a municipality again under the condition that a municipal building should be constructed within six (6) months, after which, an inauguration would be done. The town people immediately gathered their resources and completed the building in little more than three (3) months. At long last on July 1, 1913, Dipolog was inaugurated as a municipality with Hon. Pascual Martinez as its first Municipal Mayor appointed by Gen John J. Pershing, Governor General of Mindanao.
