MUNATO FESTIVAL 2012


MUNATO is a local indigenous term for Sarangani Province’s “first people”.  Pottery shards and jars found in a cave in the municipality of Maitum attest to the province’s early cultural history dating back to as far as 5 BC and others that are believed to be dating back to the Late Stone period of at least 3,000 years ago.  These pot shards are unique because of their anthropomorphic designs that are shaped like portraits of individuals.   These jars may have served as the containers of remains of individuals.


This year, on the 20th anniversary of the province, it will be celebrated from November 28-30, 2012.

Below is the schedule of events and activities of Munato Festival 2012.
