T’nalak Festival 2016

T’nalak Festival, also known as Tinalak Festival, is a festival held to celebrate the anniversary of South Cotabato, and is observed every July.

The festival’s unique name is attributed to a popular piece of colorful cloth woven by the local T’boli women (T’boli is a tribe in the region). The cloth is known as a t’nalak, and is made of abaca clothing. There are a number of reasons why this was the choice clothing among so many options.
