Being a true blooded South Cotabatoeña I am posting the schedule of events for the upcoming T’nalak Festival.

T’nalak Festival is a colorful and most celebrated festival in the province of South Cotabato. T’nalak is the woven fabric that T’boli women are so famous of making. It’s unique and has become a world class fabric.
