T´nalak festival South Cotabato

Tinalak or T'nalak Festival is a day of festivity to commemorate the foundation anniversary of South Cotabato. This is celebrated every month of July in the provincial capital of Koronadal City.

The festival is named after t'nalak, a colorful abaca cloth created and woven by the women of the province's T'boli tribe. The cloth is chosen as the festival icon as it is considered to symbolize the blending of culture, strength and unity of the various ethnic groups living in the province.
