Abstract

Mindanao is pre-dominantly inhabited by Malay Muslims. The Mёranao group is one the 13 Muslim ethno-linguistic groups in Mindanao, Philippines. The Mёranaos or Iranuns inhabit Lanao del Sur. Spanning out in diaspora, the Mёranaos are also dispersed in different areas in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao in search of greener pasture. Lanao del Sur is the main region where the majority of the Mёranaos inhabit since time immemorial. Lanao del Sur has several municipalities. Mulondo is one of the municipalities of Lanao del Sur. Mulondo has 26 barangays (villages). The Mёranaos in Mulondo are not inclined to tourism industry since there are no foreign nationals and local tourists visiting it for tourism adventure and activities. Meanwhile, the Christian Filipinos from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao do not visit the areas in Lanao del Sur due to the fact that Lanao del Sur do not promote its halal tourism. This paper assesses the halal tourism potentials in Mulondo, Lanao del Sur so that it could be used as a basis for enhancing the halal tourism potentials of this place. In the future, the various local government unit of the municipalities in Lanao del Sur may use this paper as a benchmark in identifying their halal tourism potentials geared towards the economic growth of the localities. Hopefully, this paper serves as a basis for policy making in improving the halal tourism in the Philippines, thus improving the quality of lives of the Filipinos particularly the Mёranaos.
