Lanao del Sur is a province that stands out for its cultural richness and natural beauty.
The province is predominantly inhabited by the Maranao people, known for their elaborate art, vibrant traditions, and strong Muslim faith.
Maranao architecture, weaving, and oral literature — especially the Darangen epic — are deeply rooted in the local culture.
The province is home to Lake Lanao, one of the largest lakes in the Philippines, which serves as a vital freshwater source and holds cultural and ecological importance.
Lanao del Sur is part of the Bangsamoro, a region officially formed in 2019 to promote autonomy and peace in Mindanao.
