On the final episode of #FiestaFilipinas, we bring you to discover a gem tucked away in the southern part of the Philippines—Mindanao! Join the Department of Foreign Affairs as we take you on a journey to the cities of Zamboanga and Basilan, where you can marvel at the intricately-woven Yakan cloth, traditional indigenous music, and the peaceful sceneries of the Lami-Lamihan Festival!

The Lami-Lamihan Festival of Lamitan in Basilan is a celebration of the rich culture of the Yakan tribe and is a way to promote cultural harmony among the people from the Yakan, Tausug, Muslim, and Christian communities in the area.

Join us for the finale event of #FiestaFilipinas featuring the Lami-Lamihan festival on June 26, 2021, 10:00 a.m. (local time) on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruAHTfp4ZTE.
