It was a long day for the participants of the longest parade ever in the history of the Lanao del Sur 49th day Anniversary. It was participated by National and Local Government Officials, Government Officials, Department of Education Employees and Teachers, Students of the different Schools in Marawi City and its officials. The crowd was highlighted by colorful floats and Maranaw Costume, Landap.

We can easily track down our markers by their color codes. Yellow Landap malong green upper suit for the secondary high schools officials and teachers, together with the local officials of different Municipalities in the province, a green landap malong and yellow-upper suit for the elementary schools officials and teachers and assorted attires for the others parade pariciapants. It was really a long walk when all access to the down town area were stacked by parade participants. We have to walk into the assembly area to the Provincial Capitol where the most awaited events will be hosted. The rain do not excuse parade participant as it pour down in nearly the end of the parade. The most artistic use of Malong was being tested here. Participants were too creative that they have touse their malong instead of umbrellas. This memorable event was celebrated by more than hundred thousand observers and visitors, not to mention the parade participants.

This event were headed by Gov. Mamintal A. Adiong Jr and the provincial officials both local and National. The Department of Education officials and Teachers were there to mark for this memorable occasion. The vendors who sold all sort of foods run out of supply, that is why, participants have to walk for another kilometer to satisfy their hunger. Though, it is tough to have this long day, but we see this event as a symbol of unity among the people of the province. The rains that pour were not reasons to
proceed until the portal of the provincial Capitol. Congratulations to our participants and all concerned officials in this province and MABUHAY!
