Ubol-ubol of the
South
Experience Malapatan with their festivities. Truly, one’s travel in
this part of the country is incomplete without tales of Malapatan’s events.
Grand celebrations in this
municipality are made colorful and vibrant by hanging ubol-ubols. They are
usually made of bright tri-colored cylindrical hanging piece of cloth, with
gold sequence bordering each color, very distinct of the rich Maguindanaon culture of making special occasions truly festive. Experiencing Malapatan is seeing these decorations in event venues.

Resembling the tentacles of an
octopus, the bottom part of the ubol-ubol is accented with usually five
tails, as shown in the picture below, in differing colors and designs. Said “tails”
usually have three (3) pointed edges. Furthermore,
each endtail have some sort of triangular pabitins, equally bright and varied in
colors.

| Colorful Ubol-ubol |
The hallways of the LGU Malapatan
during the Pakaradyan Festival 2013 were filled with ubol-ubols , more
prominent in the wing of the General Services Office, which bagged the Most
Festive Office Award. Almost all the interiors of the Department Offices of the Municipal
Hall were decorated with ubol-ubols, as they celebrated their
8th Pakaradyan Festival held last June 16-21, 2013. Please mark your
calendars, experience Malapatan, and bring home some ubol-ubol to add more
color to your homes.
