They feature the most ARMMazing collection of indigenous art and cultural materials, like the okir or carvings and nagas or serpent figures, ethnic music, the native tools and weapons used by the Muslims, and Muslim houses, also known as the torogan, of different artistic designs.

2. Join in on the fun at the Guinakit Fluvial Parade at the Rio Grande de Mindanao in Cotabato City, Maguindanao!

Guinakit means "bancas" that are tied together and decorated with traditional Muslim decors.  The Guinakit is an reenactment of the arrival of Shariff Muhammad Kabunsuan who introduced the Islamic faith to the region. This is just one of  the many ARMMazing water sports the Rio Grande de Mindanao can offer.

The Yakan are a peace-loving, geometric-design weaving group of people that are mostly based in Basilan. Their weaving skills are definitely a sight to see with its ARMMazing colors and intricate patterns.

 4. Dive in the deep waters of Tubbataha Reef

Glorious and gorgeous.  Two words that can best describe how ARMMazing the reefs are.  It is so beautiful, it was honored and added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in December 1993, the Philippines' very first.

5. Row through the Venice of Tawi-Tawi, Sitangkai

Besides being called the "Venice of Tawi-Tawi" because people prefer riding boats, Sitangkai doubles as a floating market, their wares coming from the sea and the small agricultural lands they have.
