Lambayong
The purplish cup-like petals are a sight to behold from a distance as they undulate with the dark waxy-textured green leaves when blown by the wind.It was established as a new municipality named Mariano Marcos in honor of the President's father.Unlike the rest of Sultan Kudarat, Ilocano-speaking residents form the majority of Lambayong, with majority of them can speak and understand fluent Hiligaynon, Tagalog and to the some extent, Cebuano and Maguindanaon, in addition to their own native language.Hiligaynon-speakers are also residents in the municipality, with many of them can also speak and understand Ilocano, Karay-a, Cebuano and Maguindanaon, since Lambayong—like the rest of Sultan Kudarat as well as Soccsksargen and the rest of Mindanao as a whole—is a melting pot of languages, culture and tradition.Other ethnolinguistic groups in the municipality are Maguindanaons, Cebuanos, Blaans and Manobos.
