One of the highlights of the Shariff Kabunsuan Festival is
the Guinakit fluvial parade. So I asked myself what is the meaning of guinakit
then I decided to search over the net.
Guinakit is a Maguindanao term that refers to a convoy of
bancas used by the early muslim leaders when they travelled.
The fluvial parade composes of 10 different colorful bancas
and both big and small in sizes. It was decorated with pandalas, pasandalan,
and baguintangs in strong colors of yellow, red, blue and green.
The Guinakit fluvial parade started from the Cotabato City
wharf commonly known as “pantalan”
at the opening of the Rio Grande.
