To highlight the culture and tradition of the Indigenous People in the Province of Cotabato the provincial government of Cotabato once again held the Kavurunan Festival (Aug 28-29, 2018) as an important part of the Kalivungan Festival. Around 500 IPs from different municipalities and lone city of Kidapawan joined the said festivity at the Provincial Pavillion just earlier.

Governor Emmylou "Lala" Taliño Mendoza graced the occasion and expressed her thankfulness to the different tribes that joined the festival. 

The Kavurunan also paved the way for IPs or Lumads to show their talents and skills through music, songs, dances, and rituals. 

This is also a way for them to preserve their culture and traditions said Talino. (Roville Ann Sotto/Jimmy Sta Cruz)
