concentration of ethno-linguistic groups and culturally diverse island.
There is an infinite variety of tradition and culture--one group is never the
same as another. Underneath the seeming diversity, however, lies a unifying body
of commonly held system of values, social structures, beliefs, practices, and
traditions which give the Filipinos a collective identity as a people. These groups
are mostly Muslims from the Badjao,Iranun,Jama Mapun, Kalagan, Manobo,
Maguindanao, Sama Pangutaran, Samal, Sangil, Tausug, and Yakan groups. Other
groups are the Lumads, or those who have maintained their indigenous beliefs
tribes and tradition instead of converting to Islam or Christianity.

lands surrounding Lake Lanao.The Maranaos are known for their Malong.The
