MIS joins Sagayan Festival during 49th Araw ng Lanao del Norte





It was an honor for MIS to earn the 4th place in the Sagayan Festival showdown during the 49th Araw ng Lanao del Norte celebration held on July 3, 2008 at the Mindanao Civic Center (MCC) in Tubod, Lanao del Norte.








Twenty five pupils were chosen by the school to represent the Municipality of Balo-I in the said competition

Sagayan is a Maranao War dance depicting the exploits, the mysterious powers and the remarkable character of Datu Bantugan, the legendary hero of the Darangen, in pursuit of rescuing his sister, Princess Lawanen.






It was a very memorable event for the students and the teachers alike. The experience taught them discipline, gave them exposure and confidence, and most importantly, they learned to appreciate the Maranao culture.
