The muslin tradition on how they welcome their visitor especifically Maguindanaon tribe located in Cotabato City and other provences in Mindanao. They will used these flaglet or banners especially if they have a special occation, like weddings or any celebration. The flaglet was the symbolism if they had a occation.

Mindanao Children's Library (MCL) Foundation Inc: New Scholars 2010

New Scholars 2010

The MCLFI went to Sitio Kayupaton, Brgy. Tumanding Arakan Cotabato. This Area was the teritory of the Indigenous people and there place has no Day Care Center. Therefore the MCLFI will gave the One Unit Day Care Center. This place has many children's but no building for them to start there education.

We went there for interview for a new scholar for this year 2010. Some children there they cannot go to school because of the financial problem and they have no food to eat. Also there place was so far from the Baranggay, where the public school and the Day Care Center belong. Roxan was the name of this child, she has no father only her mother who take care of them. They had no enough food to eat and it is difficult for her mother to send them to school. So that why, we got them to be a scholar.

This child has a eleven finger and has a twelve finger foot. Also her brother has a four breast. She is first year high school but she's very small because she's lock of nutrition.

This are the family of Joylyn, she has a two younger sister and two younger brother. She has no father because her father will gone away. And her mother were always finding a job for them to live. Then the MCLFI will found them and got them to be there scholar.
