Colors of malong

MALAPATAN, Sarangani (June 17, 2009) – Malong weavers make a piece of malong the traditional way with the use of colorful threads Wednesday, June 17, as the town celebrates its 40th Foundation Anniversary and 4th Pakaradyan Festival which will culminate on June 21. Malong symbolizes the harmonious relationships of the Muslims, Christians and tribal people in Malapatan. Pakaradyan is a Maguindanaon term for thanksgiving or celebration, though the town is mostly populated by the indigenous Blaans. (Cocoy Sexcion/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE)
