Mindful meoweler tips

Respect Traditional Culture

Iliganons are proud of their Moro and Maranao heritage. Respect the culture by dressing conservatively and removing shoes when entering houses and mosques.

Savor Local Delicacies

Taste the famous grilled chicken, tinapa (smoked fish), and binaki (rice cakes) of Iligan. Also, don't forget to try Halang-halang, the city's signature spicy soup.
