Cotabato — In the Shadow of the Philippines' Highest Peak

Cotabato (North Cotabato) is a culturally diverse province in central Mindanao where Muslim, Christian, and indigenous Lumad communities coexist. The province's fertile lands in the shadow of Mount Apo — the Philippines' highest peak — produce rice, corn, and tropical fruits. Local cuisine is a fascinating mix: Moro dishes like rendang and satti sit alongside Visayan grilled meats and indigenous forest-based cooking. Kidapawan City, the capital, hosts the Araw ng Cotabato celebrations, and the province is known for its durian, mangosteen, and other tropical fruits that thrive in its rich volcanic soil.
