Project Larawan

Fabric of our culture

GABRIEL MALVAR · Nov 8, 2025, 12:46 AM

Inaul represents how we, Maguindanaoans, preserve our inheritance, strengthen our unity, nourish our culture, defend our land, and share our bounty. It is the embodiment of our past; it is the joy of our present; and it is the hope of our future. We are the people of Maguindanao. And our malong is Inaul. -- Representative Bai Sandra Sema
