One of the biggest, grandest, and brightest festival in the province of South Cotabato – the 13th T’NALAK FESTIVAL has already started last July 13 and will continue it’s week long festivity until July 18.
This year’s celebration has the theme “South Cotabato: Making a Difference, Amo Na ‘Ya!”
Why T’nalak?
The festival is named after the renowned T’nalak, a cloth meticulously handwoven by the T’bolis. Creating the fabric requires patient labor and craftsmanship as it undergoes a series of steady processes like dyeing, heating, and beating. The vibrant and striking colors in intricate patterns of the fabric are symbolic of the province’s dynamic dreams through its people, culture and tradition.
