    Kawayan Torogan
      Sultan sa Kawayan Makaantal

    Kawayan Torogan is a type of architectural art form. Sultan sa Kawayan Makaantal built
    Kawayan Torogan in Bubung Malanding, Marantao, Lanao del Sur, and it is still there today.
    Kawayan Torogan is a traditional Maranao house that was allegedly the royal residence of a
    sultan or datu in the Maranaw neighborhood. The Kawayan Torogan is a huge one-roomed
    structure with a high ceiling and steep roof made of strong timbers and finely carved panolong
    (beam ends) with okir motifs. It is an elevated house built on top of short posts made of whole
    tree trunks, and you must first climb a short stairway before entering the main part of the house.
    The Kawayan Torogan is one-of-a-kind, with many binds to Muslim culture. The patterns
    outside and inside the house are very prominent because they are present everywhere. The
    posts that support the roof inside the house are carved with a center beam known as the tinai-a-
    walay. The okir patterns are carved into the doors and windows as well. Last but not least, as
    previously stated, the exterior of the house known as the panolong fills the front and sides of the
    house with the okir patterns. These patterns represented and emphasized the Sultan's love for
    his culture and people.
    The Kawayan Torogan's overall structure and purpose make it stand out. The piece was
    created to house the Sultan, his wives, and their children. The Kawayan Torogan interprets an
    architecture designed for the Sultan to symbolize their power and to serve as their home and a
    gathering place for their community to plan their affairs, it is also where their community
    activities were held. It is constructed and surrounded by various types of art inspired by their
    culture and people, making it very unique and intelligent.
    This architectural piece reflects the uniqueness and creativity of Filipino culture.
    Because we all belong to different types of groups, it already shows how diverse our art is in our
    country. Aside from the basic elements of this structure, the values of this work of art are
    intricately engraved with the flowing geometries of the Maranao design system which
    showcases much of the Maranao culture. For me, I think the overall architecture is simply
    beyond its time. The materials used served a purpose, which was to make the house stronger,
    particularly in the event of an earthquake. The overall design and art styles used have a hidden
    meaning or symbol underneath them and are very different from other houses both before and
    now. As a result, I believe that this type of architecture is innovative and should be preserved so
    that future generations can see one of the Maranao culture's products.
