Pantar National High School Sagayan Festival 2024

The hero of the Darangen, Datu Bantugan, from the kingdom of Bumbaran, embarks on a quest to search for his younger sister Arcata Lawanen, who was abducted by Ayonan Dimasangkay of the kingdom of Sagorongan-a-Ragat. Sagayan, the war dance, ensues during the battle to rescue his sister from captivity. Despite the clash, the rift ultimately ends in the pacification and peace between the two kingdoms. Because of this, the people of Lanao del Norte consider this act beyond just being a war dance; it is a symbol for protecting communities, reconciliation, and promoting peace among folks.
