Mindful meoweler tips

Respect the Muslim culture

Cotabato is predominantly Muslim, so visitors should be respectful of their customs and traditions. Dress modestly and ask for permission before taking photos.

Visit the Tamontaka Church

Built in 1893, the Tamontaka Church is a beautiful example of Spanish colonial architecture. It is currently under restoration, but visitors can still admire its unique design.

Try the traditional Maguindanaon cuisine

Maguindanaon cuisine is known for its spicy and flavorful dishes. Some popular dishes to try include piaparan (chicken in coconut milk and turmeric) and beef kulma (beef in a spicy tomato-based sauce).
