Did you know that there is a myth revolving around the creation of Lake Lanao?

In the Maranao culture, the myth says that an army of angels under the command of the Archangel Diabarail, removed the vast population of Mantapoli and placed it in the center of the earth in accordance to the wishes of Allah.

The spot that it left accumulated so much water that Diabarail asked for the assistance of the Four Winds of the World, and created an outlet for the overflowing waters. The hole then became lake Lanao and the outlet the Agus river.

Interesting, right?
Bet you didn't learn that in school!
