Philippines ROYAL HOMES - The Magic of Lake Lanao

[@santos8185]

Kumander, I appreciate what you're doing .I was born in Manila, but I know so little about my country. I left my country 50 yrs. ago and I'm learning a lot from you, thank very much. Take care of yourself.

[@dynastyduck3799]

I love Kumander's curiosity and his open mind about different cultures, which is something many people struggle with due to their upbringing. He is also very courageous, traveling to unknown parts of the world and conquering obstacles with ease, all the while laughing and smiling. Thank you, Kumander, for taking us on your journey.

[@maulindabroma5839]

Oh my GOD i missed you Marawi City specially all my relatives i have memories also of Aga Khan Museum with my classmates and my children last 2017 i let my children see our culture in Marawi so that they may know our roots because they are half muslim already and grew up in Manila thank you Kumander Daot take care all the time. GOD BLESS! My Ina my mother died last year April she was buried in Marawi City.

[@daniellesalvador6525]

I really appreciate your videos. They are so entertaining! I wouldn't have been able to see and explore these places myself. I didn't even know such beautiful places existed in my country. I am amazed. Thank you! Wishing you more success and blessings.

[@dowpee3.046]

Congratulations mindanao!! Many people now enjoy visiting different places in mindanao because of the peace efforts of both government and ethnic groups. Both foreign and locals are 100% safe! Alhamdulillah!!

I hope someone could properly preserve that magnificent house… that thing belongs in a museum. Simply amazing

Salute to the craftsmen in Tugaya for maintaining one of the most beautiful, and completely native, artistic traditions in the world.

Ayos kumander

[@AngryKittens]

The designs of the traditional fishing devices of various Filipino ethnic groups are always fascinating, because they're always so ingenuous. And a lot of them were probably invented thousands of years ago. Like the fish corrals found throughout the Philippines.

[@teresitacampagna4960]

Appreciate this vlog so much. A lot of things I don't know about the history of Marawi and the rich culture of the Maranaos. Enjoyed the tour of the museum. Proud of the Maranao people, esp. the craftsmen who continue to make those beautiful wood carvings and the intricate shell inlaid furniture pieces. Thank you for appreciating the wood carver's invention. He deserved to be featured in your vlog for the wonderful work that he does. Love lake Lanao. It's beautiful and mystical. Another awesome vlog!

[@DallasCarr-1]

I decided to watch this in the middle of night and fell asleep, then woke up sometime later to Becoming Filipino's video playing. Having coffee now while typing this... morning time now. Can anyone give me a run down what happened in both videos?... 🥸

[@christopherturco197]

What an awesome museum the Aga Khan Museum is. Such a beautiful resource for the community. I love how they are preserving their culture right down to the carpentry of the craftsman woodworker you met. I like his ingenious inventions. That one looked like a homemade drill press. Nanay from the museum was really funny!🤣 She would make a visit to the museum especially enjoyable.

I really had a lot of good memories there in Marawi way back in the early 90's when I drove my car all the way from Negros Occidental via Dumaguete and CDO just to visit some muslim family friends. I did not even told my mom where I was going. She only found out weeks after when my cousin from cebu informed her about where I went. 😅

That "princess house" reminds me of the pataka houses of the Māori people in New Zealand. They were also used to isolate royalty. There's an ancient connection there, since the ancestors of both the Maori and Filipinos are Austronesians. The torogan houses themselves are very similar to numerous other Austronesian houses. Including the different rumah of Indonesia and Malaysia, and the one from ancient Guam which used rock pillars called haligi. Ancient Austronesian houses tended to be communal. With very large buildings that accommodate multiple families. I have a feeling the "palaces" described in Spanish records of other Filipino ethnic groups were very similar to its design as well. Sadly none were recorded, and wood rots, so their designs were lost, though some elements are still preserved in bahay na bato architecture (though the area under the stilts, the silong, were walled and turned into the ground floor).

I'm curious, are any of the ancient Maranao ships/canoes preserved in Lake Lanao? I think they're called awang. The panolong (the wing-like carved decorations) of the torogan houses actually originate from the prow design of those boats, probably because the original houses from the very ancient past were probably built on several boats and actually floating on the water (i.e. a catamaran) or at least built on beached boats. It would be sad if they're all gone.

[@KumanderDaot]

I didn't see an awang on the lake, but there was one in the museum.

[@AngryKittens]

@@KumanderDaot Oh I think I see it in the background somewhat in 1:22 2:44 and 3:48. But it's sad they don't exist in real life anymore. :( The awang was incredibly important in Maranao history, as evidenced by how much of their art was influenced by the boat design. The panolong and the boat shapes are found not only in torogan houses, but in musical instruments and containers.

[@KumanderDaot]

@@AngryKittens yeah, I think the lake being low on fish stocks has taken its toll...
