ALABEL, Sarangani (November 26, 2011) – The best street dancers from Sarangani, Sultan Kudarat and South Cotabato vie for the total cash prize of at least P237,000 in the MunaTo Festival street dancing showdown watched by thousands of spectators at the Capitol grounds Saturday, November 26. The 1st placer gets P100,000; 2nd -75,000; and 3rd – P50,000, with P12,000 for consolation prize. MunaTo Festival is a celebration honoring the first people and leaders of Sarangani. MunaTo was derived from the native vernacular meaning “unang tao” or “first people”, the early inhabitants of Sarangani who passed on a rich cultural heritage. MunaTo also refers to the makers of the 2000-year old anthropomorphic burial jars discovered in Maitum that are now in the National Museum. As a tribute to the pioneering leaders of the province, MunaTo is a celebration of their efforts to spur development in Sarangani which is sustained up to this day.
